HFCS like the name implies has very high fructose levels, which sends different signals to your brain than glucose/sucrose causing you to want more. Also, diets rich in fructose over glucose/sucrose also cause problems of metabolizing all the sugar as fastly. And I saw some recent studies that say it also contains mercury and other fun shit because of the way its manufactured.

Honest Tea tastes fucking delicious. Not sure how sugary it is though ^^; but it definitely tastes less sugary than other teas by far, but makes up for it with the nice flavors of the tea coming out.

It varies from flavor to flavor of honest tea but some are completely void of sugar, others have at most 9-11g per serving (which is like 30-40 less than most other drinks...). Also translates awesome caloriewise cause I've never seen honest tea with more than 80 calories per bottle.

Diabetes

Heart Disease

High Blood Pressure

High Cholesterol

Degenerative Arthritis of the knees - if she lives long enough she will require knee replacements which will most likely lead to addiction to pain killers

I like honest Tea, and also I drink the unsweetened green tea and black tea from trader joes.

Also don't start the HFCS debate again it is almost as bad and pointless as the debate over religion and politics, every time it comes up it goes no where and a bunch of people make a bunch of baseless retarded statements on both sides of the argument.

So tl;dr on the drink to drink: Stick with boring water unless you can be arsed to make tea the proper way?

I used to be a Dr.Pepper addict a couple years back, had 5 full cases in my dorm room, not sure what made me stop drinking sodas for the most part. Hell, can barely stand Pepsi. Only caffeinated I do drink if offered these days is primarily Root Beer, otherwise, gimmy some flavoured water or that Arizona shit.

I thought that, by and large, root beer was not caffinated.

I would pound down the flavored water a lot more than regular water. I get so bored of just the plain taste and can't really throw spices in there to kick it up haha.

a recent study show 4 cups of coffee or tea a day decrease the likely hood of type 2 diabetes. Also green tea is very high in antioxidants, very good to drink. There have been studies in china on the great benefits of green tea on oral health.
