Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / December 2006can producers of drinks and other products make them without sugars/aspartime etc??
Hope this is not totaly OT, but I would like to be able to have drinks as well as other products that do not add sweetners of any kind and allow me to add my choice of sweetners. any thoughts on this? I get light headaches when drinking aspartamine drinks and fat when I drink the corn syrups etc. So of course, I seldom use them and select home brewed teas, but would like to have some of the commercial stuff when on trips etc. respectfully, lee Water. What the heck is wrong with water?

But I've heard that variety is said to be the spice of life and I'd like a bit more variety <G> SOooo...

Cuz it has no taste, in face it has nothing. Try fruit juices not made from concentrate. _DF > Hope this is not totaly OT, but I would like to be able to have drinks > as well as other products that do not add sweetners of any kind and > allow me to add my choice of sweetners. Browse the SoBe line of drinks ..as an example: http://www.sobebev.com/product%5Finfo/lean_energy.shtml FruitWater and some of the other Glaceau drinks: http://www.drinkbetterwater.com/ You can read alot of reviews and ingredients of beverages at this website: http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/glaceauvitamin/ joanne "joni" <jgrrl2@yahoo.com> wrote in part: >> Hope this is not totaly OT, but I would like to be able to have drinks >> as well as other products that do not add sweetners of any kind and [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >joanne The SoBe drinks are artificially sweetened. -- Jim Chinnis Warrenton, Virginia, USA jchinnis@alum.mit.edu > The SoBe drinks are artificially sweetened. The OP specifically said aspartame - not 'other sweetners'. No aspartame in SoBe's. The last link to BevNet gives ingredients to LOTS of products. I am sure he could find many that would suit his criteria if he took the time to read. Here's another natually flavored water, no sugar/no artificial sweetners: http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/hint/ joanne "joni" <jgrrl2@yahoo.com> wrote in part: >> The SoBe drinks are artificially sweetened. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >sweetners: >http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/hint/ I wasn't knocking your post. I read your links and found them interesting. I don't like sweetened beverages and would be interested in some commercial unsweetened drinks when traveling. The OP also said, "I would like to be able to have drinks as well as other products that do not add sweetners of any kind ..." He wants to sweeten his drinks with something he likes and to the degree he likes. My interest is in not sweetening at all, as I tend to like the various unsweetened natural flavors of things. -- Jim Chinnis Warrenton, Virginia, USA jchinnis@alum.mit.edu > "joni" <jgrrl2@yahoo.com> wrote in part: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > -- > Jim Chinnis Warrenton, Virginia, USA jchinnis@alum.mit.edu Right on!. Also I tried to reply to your later post but couldn't find a "reply" space on it. Since they changed the foremat on this as well as other groups on Google I tend to get lost<G> , but I am agreeable to the forcast of continued and worsening nutrician problems. I fear for my great grands but also feel that we do have a lot of intelligent people who will put their thinking and doing caps on and find some answers. It must start with cleaning up our messes, and stop raping the earth. It has taken too long for the ones with power to wake up to what is happening, and it is a shame on those of us who do not do all we can do to support the serious ecologists. I wish I could do more. sincerely, lee > I wasn't knocking your post. I read your links and found them interesting.

You are right, that is what i wanted. I spend more time finding 100% fruit juices unsweetened and not concentrated, and what little processed foods I use with low sodium and no msg, with low fats as i get low fat stuff then add a bit of VFCP Olive oil to be sure I get some good fat. Seems to be working as my right hand that was a bit mal formed with RA, looks a LOT better, almost normal. Wrists are still enflamed but better.

I truly thank you for your responce, Joane, and I will browse Fruit water tommorrow. I do add some fruit juices and stevia sometime. I do get enough carbs.. sometimes a bit too much, and I do like sweets. too much. sincerly, Lee > Hope this is not totaly OT, but I would like to be able to have drinks > as well as other products that do not add sweetners of any kind and [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > on trips etc. > respectfully, lee Are you so far from civilization that you cannot buy a tea or coffee? Have you thought of taking a flask? Your main problem seems to be that if fizzy tooth rotter is in the shop you may actually buy it. > > Hope this is not totaly OT, but I would like to be able to have drinks > > as well as other products that do not add sweetners of any kind and [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Have you thought of taking a flask? Your main problem seems to be that > if fizzy tooth rotter is in the shop you may actually buy it. You don't have to be sarcastic. Flask? I take bottles of whatever I choose so I don't have to buy the fizzy tooth rotters. BUT..I like to travel light<G> less respectfully, Lee > > > Hope this is not totaly OT, but I would like to be able to have drinks > > > as well as other products that do not add sweetners of any kind and [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > travel light<G> > less respectfully, Lee You specify what type of trip, e.g. trip to the beach, country park, or national wilderness, or climate. I have found, though, that in heat adding a packet of rehydration salts (salts+ sugar) to my water a lot more thirst quenching, and I don't end up with a belly full of water with dry lungs and headache. |
