    Drink water, tea or lemon aid. Lots and lots of teas out there.

    I remember as a child way back in the hills, my Grandma would make some sugary drink for the my plowing up some land for her,
    and send me out with some cold Mason jars full of drink made from vinegar. No lemons grew back there and were rarely bought.
    Vinegar and lemon juice are just about the same type of sharp acidity, with water and sugar made a refreshing drink in the high humidity and heat.

    I'll agree with this. Insects don't bother me that much, unless they have been sprayed. Doesn't seem like this is the case here.
    Aspartame for one is a dangerous thing, so now they are going to call it "Amino Sweet" for the folks who won't be looking for this till they learn better. High Fructose Corn Syrup is changing its name to simply "Corn Syrup". Doesn't that sound nutritious? Money is king, so we have to monitor our own food intake. Me..I strongly suspect there's something else in diet sodas that isn't on the label and is highly addictive. I can stop drinking it, get my caffeine in tea and coffee, yet still get headaches and want my diet sodas. I'm working on lowering my intake, slowly...very slowly. Also losing weight just as slowly!!!! That sorta surprised me. I think in the mean while I'll change to Sucrose and sodas that have it in them, going today to search them out. I'm told by a chemist I know that Sucrose "mostly" is excreted from the body, unlike Aspartame. I'm going to not think of that "mostly" bit till I've tamed my craving for soda.

    Sure would like to find one that has plain old Stevia in it. I heard some soda companies are trying to come up with a good tasting soda with Stevia.

    (Wanna gain weight? Drink Diet Sodas!!)
    Aspartame has been proven to CAUSE carbohydrate cravings! It has also been linked to brain problems.

    I gave up diet soda almost three years ago for the reasons being pointed out here. Though I didn't lose weight, I also did not gain any. And, I feel much better, which is the ultimate reason. I no longer have any cravings either. I now drink teas that I make from fresh herbs, often herbs I've grown or gathered myself. I do not miss the soda!

    LET ME TRY THIS ONE MORE TIME

    I remember as a child way back in the hills, my Grandma would make some sugary drink for MY UNCLES WHO WERE plowing up some GARDEN land for her,

    and send me out with some cold Mason jars full of drink made from vinegar. No lemons grew back there and were rarely bought.

    How many times have you heard somebody say drink pickle juice for muscle cramps? Probably the main ingredient to do any good was the vinegar!
