Also soda whether diet or not causes hypokalaemia
I drank regular Pepsi for at least 35 years and I am sure I have it.

I think that the caffeine didn't effect me but the sodium phosphate, the phosphoric acid and the carbon effected me. I am sure if I had been drinking diet soda I would be in much worse shape.

I drink a drink called "Naked and Bolthouse". I love the Chai Tea and the Banana with Chocolate ones. Also, the Mango Madness is good.

Have to spread the rep
I was trying to think of Naked but couldn't remember the name.

I tasted bolthouse once yuck!

Chai tea is suppose to be really good

Invest in a good juicer and make all the healthy drinks you want. I make alot of drinks.

I have a 6 months old and I make most of his food. I hate to buy that store stuff.

You have to watch with the teas and many things that are suppose to be natural.
READ the ingredients.

Like some Sobe's and Fuze are okay but most say Fruclose or surclose which most often is aspartame.

Many of the green teas---the same thing
Like Snapple and Lipton contain either too much sugar or surclose.

It is best to brew your own.

I blend one banana, R. W. Knudsen coconut nectar, some berries and Dole Pineapple juice.
