Pretty cool idea. Just hope it tastes good.

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.

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.

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.

how does one become lactose intolerant? I thought people were born that way.

I heard everyone becomes lactose intolerant at some point. All I know is that eating a lot of dairy really fucks me up but in the past I used to chug milk with ease.

To ask the opposite question: is anyone born lactose intolerant? Not the most naturally selectable trait, if you ask me.

I'm 38 and so far not lactose intolerant.

Milk is supposed to fuck up your stomach or something like that right?

All four of my grandparents drink milk, and they're 80.

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)"

Guess my ancestors were milk drinkers.
