    I buy those cans of powdered Gatorade and make my own at home.  I drink about 4 quarts of it a day. 

    Is that bad? 

    I can't help it.  I love the stuff.  It's like salty and sweet at the same time.  And it comes in so many flavors.

    Dekron thats pretty cool you went vegan. I went vegan about a year ago. You should try rice milk and almond milk (great stuff too).

    Whoever said "humans must eat flesh or else they will die sooner or later"...uh I choose later.

    Vegans are way healthier than meat eaters and its been proven and check this fella out: Ironman athlete

    Also vegans generally don't smoke or drink...they went vegan to be healthy after all among other things.

    Anyways I only drink water.

    Also there is a huge difference between High Fructose Corn Syrup and just the normal Corn starch it comes from. Here learn a little http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup

    Well, to be honest, my favorite Gatorade flavor is Citrus.  But I can never find it in the powdered cans.  So I'm forced to buy the Fruit Punch, Lemon-Lime, and Glacier Freeze.  Those are in order from my favorite to least favorite.  Every once and a while I'll splurge and just buy the big jug of Citrus though. 

    My friend said I drink so much that my pee is going to change colors.  That would freak me out if it came out Glacier Freeze.  image

    I tried going vegan once.  I got really tired and went to the doctor.  He said I had a nutrition deficiency.  He asked me if I was eating properly.  When I told him that I was trying to go vegan he said that was okay, but that I was doing it wrong.  Obviously.

    I went home and ate meat that night and felt better pretty fast. 

    I'm not putting down the diet.  I would love to try it, but there is so much different information on how to do it that I'm scared to try it again.  Plus it seems like a lot of trouble.  I don't like cooking too much.  So that makes it pretty hard. 

    I'm not wanting to do it because of the animal thing though.  That doesn't bother me.  I will ALWAYS love me a big old fat juicy steak.  But I like living more.  So, maybe one steak a year or something.  hehe.  image

    "Largest meat eater that ever lived: Tyrannosaurus Rex (Where is he today?)" What a argument
    ::::29::

    Most of those arguments where just stupid and aimed at the american who eats 6times a day at Mcdonalds and needs 3 airplane seats.

    You will die if you never take the stuff that meat contains. Proteins and similar, you won't find in vegetables. If you are a vegan you have to take pills, or some other products. The body needs them.
    Being a vegan is against the nature of our bodies.

    What I'm talking about with eating meat. Is eating it as you should. Meat, vegetables and something healthy to drink with. If you balance the amount of meat and vegetables you eat healthy.

    Fizzy drinks are linked with diabetes, tooth erosion (not decay thanks to phosphoric acid) and cancer as Sodium Benzoate can react with Vitamin C to make benzene. Don't think Diet Coke is much better than Regular, it isn't. Stick to water, fruit juice or make yourself a smoothie or..

    try diluting fruit juice with sparkling water instead.

    Ok you took one of the joke arguments and ignored the rest. Btw most meat eaters actually eat way too much protein and that by itself is unhealthy. Also the myth that vegan don't get protein is total BS.

    Most think that being vegan means only eating salads and fruits.  We have our "cream cheese", "chicken", "turkey" (called tofurkey...gotta love it), "beef", etc.  but it is made from soy.  Soy contains protein, however, I do agree that vegans must supplement some way, but that does not mean taking a pill.  There is protein in nuts. 

    I still eat PBnJ.  I could never give that up.  Honestly, though, I have had some of the best tasting dishes while being vegan and (1)they are less in fat/calories, (2)they cost less and (3)prep time is quick (I made a creamy tomato basil pasta in 10 minutes).

    As for almond milk, i'll try it.

    As for gatorade --- lemon lime. image

    Yeah, that's why the scientific community uses latin for ingredient names and, tons of other things. It's high school stuff.

    Actually high fructose corn syrup is made from corn.

    Here is the process:

    http://www.westonaprice.org/motherlinda/cornsyrup.html

    And the reason why it was created was because farmers were urged to create massive amounts of corn crops do to famine/food shortages.  However, they found they produced way too much and had an overage.  Then HFCS was born along with such tasty treats as pecan pie. image

  • noname12345noname12345 Member Posts: 2,267

    Drinking 4-6 cans of diet pepsi a day is ok and normal but being a vegan is wierd or something? btw diet pepsi is even worse than normal pepsi because it has neat lil ingredient called Aspertame. You can find LOADS of information on Aspertame all over the place and there is even a whole documentary about it called Sweet Misery. You can probably find a Google video for free or a torrent.

    Its so deadly and if you do some research (or just watch the documentary) on how Aspertame was approved by the FDA you will see some government corruption too. Donald Rumsfield was heavily involved.

    Why don't they just go back and fix their screw ups of the past?

    Anyways fizzy drinks for me. A year ago I was all about water but since moving back in with my parents, they've gotten me hooked on coke again. :S

    There's three key components used before it's made though, it gets really complex. Lets just agree to disagree.

    You are always better off with drinking normal Coke or fizzy drinks instead of the diet version. All those scientific manufactured are in most cases worse than the "real" thing. Just look at all the E342, E345, E456 and so on. There are hundreds if not thousands of those, and many are dangerous. Like higher risk for cancer.

    I love this stuff. Hey AlexAmore, do you have msn or an email or something? Mine's Boozbazz@hotmail.com.

    Anyways, that was really interesting to watch. While I did learn more about how Aspartane came around and the driving forces behind it, it didn't really answer my question as to why the current political powers are not trying to get it off the market. There are some obvious assumptions I can make, IE: doing so would cost lots of $$, who would really stand to gain from taking aspartane/cigs/etc off the market ? , the hassle involved, and so on. Who knows what the guys pulling the strings are thinking anyways?

    I hope that the disregard Rumsfeld supposedly displayed when pushing his goal forward will not become the norm or accepted in our future- at [i]least[/i] when it comes to politics and global marketing.


    Getting back to the main topic. How about Motts Clamato instead of pop? That juice isn't so bad.

  • noname12345noname12345 Member Posts: 2,267

    Well there are many reasons why its not off the market. I would say:

    1) Lobbyists are very powerful
    2) Donald is still in the government and still has lots of power.
    3) Pharmaceutical industry basically owns the FDA...ect

    Look how many FDA approved drugs they allow to the public. You even see the commercials where near the end they list out ALL the side effects and sometimes they are fatal! You really think the Big Pharma and FDA really want to cure you? You think they really want to go out of business? No. They are all millionaires and want more. Aspartame is just that - a drug.

    Natural Cures "They" Don&apos;t Want You to Know About is a VERY controversial book. I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. He talks a lot about the FDA, FTC, Pharma, and how they all work together. Of course he also talks about all the natural ways to live healthier and thus cure sickness.
