protein (I know, I know) question

Jones soda is made from cane sugar.

mmmm, Jones

I prefer Blue Sky's organic line, but that's because it's easier to find... and less expensive

COLD green apple too.

Mercy.

It's like a stampede of tasty elephants running across your tongue.

That just might be a mental picture I wasn't prepared to tackle with a temperature of 102!

Elephants must have some pretty funky toe-jam

I have no problem with occasional intakes of HFCS. I'm a physically active person with the metabolism of a rabbit. I burn through it pretty fast.

As for water, I just lost my taste for it.

can sugar is just as bad as regular sugar
though not as bad as HFCS....
i'm depressed to discover that hansen's sodas contain HFCS....

 

Yeah, I stopped drinking soda 4-5 years ago (DH and I were both addicts - coming off Mountain Dew and Coke was a more painful withdrawal for us than cigarettes!)... Stopped drinking fruit-juice drinks (like SoBe, that type of thing) a year or two later. That doesn't leave a lot of other options besides water! I drink a LOT of that. 2-3 times a day I've developed the habit of drinking hot tea because it's a good way to keep me on schedule and force myself into a "break time". (Green in the morning, usually black in the afternoon, and something herbal like chamomile or mint at night)

I do occasionally still drink real fruit or veggie juice - usually cranberry or Odwalla Superfood if I'm feeling rich. OJ on rare occasions. But I treat that more as a fruit serving than as a beverage.

 

bananas contain all 8 EAA's also

 

Quinoa is pretty nutritrionally complete

I don't like plain water, but I'll drink it if I'm thirsty. I tend to drink coffee, fruit juice and I still have a soda addiction after all these years. I'm lucky in that I don't put on weight very easily. I can go without soda but I end up craving it. I've stopped with the coca cola though.
