A pet peeve of mine is growers, manufacturers, advertisers, and
friends and acquaintances pushing things on me because they're
"natural". The first three groups I ignore; to the friends and
acquaintances I relate the story of a doctor treating a patient who's
suffering from lung disease but who insists on smoking weed. "The
habit is making your condition worse" the doctor admonishes him. "How
can that be?" the patient asks. "It's all natural. How can it be bad?"
"Apricot stones naturally contain lethal amounts of cyanide. Eat too
many and they'll kill you" the doctor replies. "In my back yard
there's a plant that, if you sit under it for about ten minutes or so,
you'll die. Just because something is ""natural" doesn't mean it's

quit and leaves. After he's gone, the nurse in attendance looks at the

Years ago my health food nazi SiL was extolling the virtues Celestial
Seasoning herbal teas. I argued that the companies producing that stuff
just mixed together a lot of flowers and herbs and had no idea of the
chemical content. A short time after that discussion there was a news
story about a woman who almost died from drinking too much of one of
their products. She had a real thing for it and was drinking more than
20 cups a day. Apparently there was atropine in it. Not enough to harm
you in normal doses, but enough to do harm in large doses.

My father-in-law was hospitalized when he OD'ed on the most natural of substances - water. He had read a book that claimed that drinking a lot of water could cure all ills. My guess is that it was a psychiatric problem, mostly. As it goes, water poisoning is a real thing.
My dentist was recommending that I drink more water. He rattled off some ridiculous number of glasses of water that I should drink every day. I think he might be trying to poison me.

The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men.

These recommendations cover fluids from water, other beverages and food. About 20% of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.

I drink less than 2 cups of water a day. That's an adequate level for me. 3.7 L of water might just kill me.

If 2 cups were adequate, your dentist wouldn't recommend you drink more.

Increase slowly until you're consuming the recommended amount.

It's possible he consumes the rest as "tea" though...plenty of pehnols

I am on a reduced fluid regimen. I am supposed to limit myself to 1 1/2
to 2 liters of fluid per day. That includes water, tea, coffee, juice
and any other beverages, plus the milk I have in cereal, high water
content fruit, yogurt etc. I gauge it relatively carefully but
sometimes I have to really watch it.

How much water do you drink a day? I used to drink a lot more water but it was nowhere near 4 L. That's kind of nuts. I'm just not a thirsty guy anymore.

I drink about 5 to 10 oz of coffee in the morning. This morning, I'll drink about 7 oz. I'll have to keep track of the amount of water I drink today.

Back in the day, I'd drink a lot of soft drinks. The Hawaiians love soft drinks. I'd get a 32 or 64 oz Big Gulp from 7-11. A lot of people used to do that. These days I don't see that too much. My guess is it's because I don't get around much anymore. I went to the zoo a few weeks ago. I probably got dehydrated and felt sick for a couple of days. Drinking a bunch of water solved that. These days, I just don't get thirsty.

My guess is it's because I don't get around much anymore. I went to the zoo a few weeks ago. I probably got dehydrated and felt sick for a couple of days. Drinking a bunch of water solved that. These days, I just don't get thirsty.

Is it though?

https://www.eatthis.com/most-popular-sodas/

Hawaii residents like to cool off with a classic drink! Diet Coke is a
mainstay among popular sodas, so it's no surprise that it's the
most-searched beverage in multiple states.

https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nati...in-every-state

Hawaii - Hawaiian Sun
OK, so it's not technically a real soft-drink since it's not carbonated.
But ask any Hawaiian what their favorite beverage is, and they'll tell
you it's Pass-O-Guava (or POG) nectar. And Hawaiian Sun makes the best.

But as to who really slugs the soda pops down, it's not Hawaii:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...soda/26498271/

1. Mississippi

> Pct. consuming soda and/or fruit drinks daily: 41.4%
> Obesity rate: 35.1%
> Pct. consuming vegetables less than daily: 23.2%
> Median household income: $37,963

More than 41% of Mississippi adults reported more-than-daily consumption
of regular soda or fruit drinks, by far the highest percentage among
states reviewed. Nearly 51% reported less-than-daily fruit consumption,
and more than 32% reported less-than-daily vegetable consumption, both
some of the highest such rates. Relatively unhealthy diets in
Mississippi are partly the result of poor socioeconomic factors, which
can contribute to limited access to healthy food sources as well as
lower health literacy levels among the population. Mississippi had the
nation's lowest median household income and the nation's highest poverty
rate at $37,963 and 24%, respectively.


https://247wallst.com/special-report...e-most-soda/6/

Not even in the top 1/2 of states consuming pops!

That would make it an inaccurate "generaliZation..."

I could tell you that what you say about Canadians and the Canadian way of life were mostly generalizations and therefor not valid. Unfortunately, I not arrogant nor racist enough.

That Joe vs the Volcano flick made fun of the Pacific people's fondness for sweet drinks. I thought that was funny as shit because behind the best stereotypical ethnic joke is always a grain of truth. Orange soda isn't really all that popular on this rock, fruit punch is. Fruit punch is the favorite drink of the kids of Hawaii - a lot of adults too. I was kind of mind-blowing to find out that I couldn't order fruit punch at McDonald's on the mainland. What the heck are the kids supposed to drink? How the heck can adults from Hawaii make "sprunch" without fruit punch? That's Sprite and fruit punch mixed together - and it's delicious!

That is troubling, I think though that with our open borders and hordes
of illegals all over the nation that the seat of power has shifted to
the Fanta line of soft drinks now.

They're not as authentic as Jarritos, but sugar is sugar at some point.

Here's my go to " personal punch" combination:

https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/f56...65ff958.jp eg

https://my247mart.com/411-tm_thickbo...ml-x-1-can.jpg

....All on tap at my local Mickey D's fountain.

I do a half and half with the Fanta and Sprite, then add a dash of Dr.
Pepper to finish.

No, it's not a Hawaiian Punch by any means, but that Tropical Sprite
with the strawberry Fanta is a wonderful blend. The Dr. Pepper adds just
a bit of tamarind-like kick to it.

enjoy.
