Those that oppose drinking distilled water claim that since it does not have added fluoride, iron, calcium, magnesium or other minerals, you are depriving your body of vital nutrients. Certified Water Specialist Joe Letorney refutes these claims, explaining that to receive your daily value of calcium, magnesium or iron, you need to drink between 646 and 848 glasses of water per day. These vitamins and minerals should be obtained through diet. Another unproven claim is that distilled water leaches essential nutrients from your body, causing more harm than health.
I was actually referring to you getting sick for days because of a diet coke.
Oh, sorry. Probably so, but it taste so nasty, I wouldn't have chosen that.
My husband drinks almost a gallon of sweet tea per day. I have been making a gallon of tea every day of our 26 years of married life. I drink a glass or two about two or three times per year. Just can't handle the sugar. It gives me a very HUGE headache for days. And I only use 3/4 a cup per gallon. Most people use one cup.
Okay, I will try that and see what I think. If I use a sweetener, I always use Raw Honey. And, yes, calorically, it is the same as table sugar, but has Vitamins C, B6, B3, B12, B1, B5. You can have 1 Tbsp per day. One tsp. is plenty in a cup of tea.
when it comes to hot tea, I just dont use any sugar at all. with coffee, I really just use enough to cut the bitterness and not to really taste the sweetness.
I NEVER use fake sugar. that stuff rots the brain.

Agreed! I think I have used Sweet-N-Lo in the past - nasty!
One time I gave my daughter, when she was very young, some Crystal Light. She had a really bad reaction, even getting blood shot eyes. Very weird - no artificial stuff after that.
We are all, except for my husband, very sensitive to food additives.
Renda,
It is also interesting that some people cannot eat sugar in any substantial amount or they become immediately addicted and have to break the addiction all over again. While others can eat in moderation.
