What is your drink of choice?

Sodie pop.

Cola's mostly, but I'm liking natural juice mix's as well.

I drink too much of the stuff actually. It's not uncommon to down a 12
pack of RC or Pepsi in a morning. Or 4 cans of 7up at supper.

So...

Knowing that all the sugar and carbonation isn't really that healthy in
the long term, I'm turning to just lain water to natural fruit juices.

Do I feel better? Not really But I'm sure it's making a healthier
difference.

Wait until you are my age. Then you can add the joys of orange flavored
Metamusil to your list of beverages of choice!

High levels of Benzene can cause cancer, and ascorbic acid is terrible
for the stomach!

I like beer a lot, but after all these years I discovered that I am allergic
to it.
It makes my belly swell.

I found several years ago, 19, that I was allergic to alcohol in *any*
form. It would give me headaches, slurring speech, upset stomach, loss of
balance and coordination, etc.

Bad stuff!

I saw the reports on high levels of benzene. But it's interesting that
the "high" levels are what? 72 parts per billion???

Seeing that Benzene and gasoline are very closly related, you probably
absorb more bad stuff when you are self-serve filling your car and get
a whiff of the fuel fumes. PLUS Working int he automotive industry, I
probably get more than that just touching grease and smelling cleaning
solvent.

If it's there...it's there, and you may know it or not.

The Ascorbic acid has never given me a gut problem (that I know of) but
, maybe I'm used to it....

So because you are subjected to some said amount of benzenes anyway,
you think it's a good idea to add MORE????? AND, you may find it handy
to know that benzene is no longer used in gasoline.
From wikipedia:

"Benzene, also known as C6H6, PhH, and benzol, is an organic chemical
compound that is a colorless and flammable liquid with a pleasant,
sweet smell. Benzene is a known carcinogen. Benzene is no longer used
as an additive in gasoline but it is an important industrial solvent
and precursor in the production of drugs, plastics, synthetic rubber,
and dyes. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, but it is
usually synthesized from other compounds present in petroleum. Benzene
is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and the second [n]-annulene
([6]-annulene)."

Well, then -- little difference. We beer drinkers prefer the juice of
rotting grain, while wine drinkers [who often somehow fancy themselves
superior] merely shift their preference to the rotting juice of fruit. You,
on the other hand, prefer a chemically altered concoction, so you shift the
rotting process to your own insides during the post-drink phase. :-)

LOL!

I never really looked at it that way....
