    Tastes good right out of my tap!

    I tend to turn it into not-water by heating it up and letting chemicals dissolve into it out of processed plants.

    I drink about 40-60 oz of hot, plant chemical non-water every weekday (much less on weekends when I'm not confined to a desk).

    I'm assuming you use plant leaves as your plant material though. I use dried beans.

    Well when I do that, I add some sugar. Should I be scared now?


    This is another case of governments going what governments do. "Dumbing" down the real issues until we have the groups that will
    1) ignore this type of campaign along with others and eat until obese or larger
    2) moderate their food intake and attempt to eat reasonably despite what the government(s) suggest or
    3) find the other extremes of eating mostly well, but thinking that sugar (or carbs, or unclean food, or meat, or things not green) is/are the devil

    They keep saying that you get heart disease if you consume sugary drinks/foods, yet I consume these things and I have reverse my heart disease. I wonder how I did that.....I must be medical miracle!!!

    Or perhaps you had a different type of heart disease than that of which they speak. But even if not, saying because you had X results that Y result is impossible is about as silly as saying smoking doesn't cause cancer because my uncle Alex smokes and doesn't have cancer. These are general recommendations after all.

    I think anything reduces the amount of sugar children consume is a good thing. I doubt this will have a huge impact but if it does, good.
