if you don't drink tea you're a criminal. i don't care how you drink it, and there are lots of different methods of preparation and imbibement peculiar to different cultures, but i stand by the aforementioned sentiment.

well warpped maybe you just haven't been drinking the right tea. don't let crappy-quality poorly-brewed bag tea influence your judgment of tea as a whole. maybe you just need to get some samples of really good loose-leaf tea and have yourself a little tea tasting. i think there's probably a tea out there for everyone. just give it time. you're still young. you'll find the right tea. she's out there somewhere.

and i'm pretty sure it's a myth that diet sodas are worse than regulars. i've done some research on that-- and of course, there's many conflicting sources, but it seems that the real scientific truth is that diet soda is basically just water and aspartame, and it would take a LOT of aspartame within a short amount of time to even begin to affect a human negatively. regular soda contains ridiculous amounts of sugar as well as a bunch of other crap; there's pretty much no way it could be better for you than diets are.

it's over!!! summer, welcome the ape...  ~ going bananas

also groan, i hope you mean by 'done some research' is that you went over to pubmed and read over the scientific articles about diet sodas & aspartame, fructose, livers role (hepatoxic damage to liver? cant remember) etc etc. pretty much all fake sugars are bad for you...save that one sugar but i can't remember it's name and even that i'd limit a lot.
and to my memory, aspartame leaves the body pr slowly so you are accumulating it regardless. drop that shit if possible. regular soda is much better than any light sodas and even that is shit to ur health.

and fwiw coffee and caffeine is fucking nasty to your adrenal gland among with (chronic stress (somenthing impossible to avoid?? these days)) so i would definitely forget about that for the most part. green tea from whole/quality leaves and good uh race? is probably the best way to go if you want something thats not really hazardous to you in a way or another. i take non-caffeine coffee if i really wanna taste that burnt ashy wood drink (i like the taste yeah)). 

I drink caffeine free mountain dew b/c the caffeine gave me hecka health probs but I still like drinking it so w/e. I drink a lot of milk and stuff too tho.

so i just finished high school today

i bet you all feel really old now

hooooooly shit!  my timeline is getting all fucked up because I don't remember you being THIS young.  crazy.  but congrats! 

soda is a treat, not something you should drink all the time. like whoa ice cream isn't good for u

water should be ya main intake. sick of ppl glomping tea/was born into a tealess society but yeah it's good

i think everyone already knows this

there's an outbreak of legionaires up in scotland and within the predicted radius of the assumed source is a compost source, one of the places where our supplier gets theirs from, so if anybody in the uk wants to buy compost. don't. If a bag splits, we have to wear vinyl gloves and dispose of them straight after, and then wash our hands afterwards due to the moisture content possibly containing the bacteria. Chances are it's not in any of it at all, but nobody's taking the risk. I'm in particular doing my best not to handle the stuff because of last year'ss illness, I'll be high risk. Though good luck if any bacteria thinks it can survive in my medication-filled blood.

Also: I prettymuch live off tea and have about one bottle of pop a day (two if working, 3-4 if shelf stacking (it's good if your stacking shelves with 25kg backs of stones/cement, ya need the sugar energy), but i wont touch those drinks like red bull and stuff. It smells like piss, and gives me all sorts of pains) but tea is what i have to function off of.

also, being british, tea is more important to me than politics/religion

I drink caffeine free mountain dew b/c the caffeine gave me hecka health probs but I still like drinking it so w/e. I drink a lot of milk and stuff too tho.

ahhaha i hate to do this but mountain dew contains bromine and that's a halogen and that shits toooxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic *bonzis voice disapears as has the ape into the open trapdoor that had sudendly appeared under him*

haha dude trust me i know it's the worst i'm not d;umb

it's like telling smokers that smoking is bad for them THEY KNOW

*...climbs outta the trapdoor!! what a climber, that's an ape for ya* yeah phew but ofc im kinda wary not being that Asshole Healthguy... you find your apartment full of orangutan dumps, somebody's torn the garbage bag all over the place in the living room etc

i think everyone already knows this

it's not commonly thought of as a treat, and most who drink it do so habitually. this is esp true for the poor, particularly the urban poor. many corner stores and bodegas only ever sold junk food, and if they're your main source of sustenance, you're in trouble. that's on top of everything else you've got working against you. I know this isn't new info but it's an immensely important subject that often isn't taught in any level of education

and I personally advocate that it's a treat because I still rly like soda and I don't think everyone needs to drop it entirely. if any of ya want to tho that's good

i meant everyone here btw


e: really my biggest problem was this part

like whoa ice cream isn't good for u

because you made it sound like people are just dumb and don't know soda is bad when a lot of the people drinking it are well aware, especially here

those who decide to cut it often think it's just the worst, not a treat like cookies or biscotti or whatever
