Pretty cool idea. Just hope it tastes good.
Coke FTW
Most likely. But I can't stand drinking water with a meal, so this would be a good alternative to soda when I can't get a decent glass of sweet tea.sliver wrote:now i'm not a nutritional expert, but i'm pretty sure it can still be horrible for you even if it results in a net loss of calories. Bad fats, toxic chemicals, and all that.
I've been drinking milk with every meal since I got past baby food, and nothing else seems right at this point. I only drink water with meals at restaurants.
edit: and thinking about this tea or soda or whatever, it just seems to me that if the drink is making you burn 100 calories from a 600mL bottle, it's probably fucking around with your body.

I love milk but I became lactose intolerant a few years ago. If I drink a more than a few gulps I'll have horrible gas the rest of the day.sliver wrote:I've been drinking milk with every meal since I got past baby food, and nothing else seems right at this point.

Here's a snippet -
"Evolution in pastoral ancestors that kept dairy animals, in populations of Europeans and some Africans, is thought to have produced the modern people who are lactose absorbers throughout adult life. There may have been a selective advantage in that group during times when milk and dairy products were relied on almost exclusively for nutrition during shortages of other foods (Houts). About 10,000 years have passed since the milking of domestic animals was begun. Nigeria is a case that demonstrates the significance of this lifestyle on human evolution. In the southern region, where conditions are not favorable for cattle, milk is not part of the diet. People there develop lactose intolerance. In contrast, a nomadic tribe that has been raising milk cattle for thousands of years remain lactose tolerant. Most African Americans are descendants of the nonpastoral tribes from Western Africa and do not tolerate lactose well. (Keeton and Gould)"
