water or coke

[imagine]

good old dandelion & burdock now thats a good old fashioned fizzy drink

dont forget ginger beer

[imagine]

you guys keeps on reminding me philippines drink ,make my mouth wares , i just keep on drinking tea now,i never used to drink it ,now i drink tea morethan water,,, my mother used to twist my arm just to have a sip of tea when i was a lil girl, she said tea is good for tummy upset,,,dunno if i will believe them old wives tale now.

ah your englishified ,,,,,,,,,,,, a cup of tea and a slice of cake vicar?

[imagine]

i must say i try to steer clear of fizzy drinks i tend to drink lots of cranberry juice i love the stuff

is good for the bowels i believe, but buy the cartons from the fridge not from the shelf, they are not the same, shelf one does not have the same bennefits and has shelf life ingredients to make it last longer,,,,,, not good

[imagine]

i do bring calamansi juice to uk ,i made sure it will last me a atleast 6 moths supply, i only use it if i m really craving for it, i freeze it and used just a cube or two,i cant in coconut juice ,lol

sounds nice
when i was a kid it was said that COKE was one of the original ingredients,but because it was a drug the manufacturers had to change the recipe, true or not , i dont know?
have a COKE and your smiling

Its difficult to buy cranberry juice, what you are most likely buying is Cranberry juice drink, which is not the same at all !!!!

if the description says Juice drink it can be made up of a low % of the juice and the rest made up with water, sugar and flavourings and colouriings!

if you want the health benefits look for the word Juice not Juice drink! this applies to Orange, Apple and all other juices sold in the UK.

What about Pepsi? Any advice there ?

Pepsi is very similar to Coke in its ingredients water, sugar, phosphoric acid, caramel and vanilla flavorings amongst others. i guess taken in excess it would have the same negative health benefits.

One of my fave things to drink is the cans of coconut water that you can buy in Phils & Thailand etc, but just wish they were cheaper here!

i do miss that too,its very good as water therapy.

My local Filipino/Asian shop sells Tropical Sun and Foco brands. Asda online sells Island sun brand in 300ml cans for only 30p each, but don't know what the delivery would be. Will have a look and order some if it's not too bad

I am always amazed at how gullible some people are. The coke myths have been around so long but still some people like to believe them.

Dissolving nails, cooking steaks etc hahahahah.


Incidentially: The acids in the stomach are much more concentrated than in coke.

Try the coconut water as it's far better for you than any fizzy drink! Certain Asda and Tesco stores sell the Island sun brand. Sadly my local ones don't, so I'm seeing if I can get an order from the suppliers for a tray or two if it!
