If you really can't go cold turkey I'd suggest a blend of 50% fruit juice (preferably something like V8 fusion or something else that has substantial vitamin content and no added sugar) with either water or seltzer. Yes Gatorade shouldn't be drunk too much. Gatorade needs sugar + salt to balance electrolytes though and prevent Water Intoxication. Yes if for whatever reason you need a lot of water (gallon or more), better drink Gatorade instead. In fact that's why when you're sick, you're suggested to eat/drink soup - Soup has a lot of sodium usually which helps get fluids in you while also restore electrolyte balance (prevent water intoxication). Though really water is the way to go for the most part and it's only a concern if you're exercising or something and downing a lot of water (a gallon or more; in that case drink sport drink instead to prevent risk of getting water intoxication). Click. Drink Almond Milk with *"no sugar added" (0 sugar). Regular cow's milk (fat free or whole) has sugar + as the link shows may or may not actually be healthy. *Some stores may or may not have no sugar added almond milk (in that case you may or may not want to bother looking around). Also in case you're lactose intolerant, you definitely don't want to be drinking regular milk but an alternative like almond milk (most people are actually lactose intolerant to some extent. The older you get, the more intolerant you become and less you can drink. If you drink too much milk compared to the amount your body can tolerate, you may get diarrhea for example. Though if you drink milk every day, you'll slow down lactose intolerance but if you only drink once in a while then you'll slowly become more intolerant as you grow older. Though still don't drink too much milk unless it's no sugar added almond milk or something). About fluoride being in water - It's only a concern for certain groups of people (like children). Click. Finally about the previous posts again, here's Wikipedia article on Aspartame. Conclusion is that it's fine as long as you drink less than 10 cans or so a day. Though I say switch to water (also water helps reduce chance of kidney stones). Also I suggest you guys look at wikipedia more than individual links. Wikipedia while not always right, at the least cites several sources. Sometimes individual links to studies will be bias or just weigh it one way and may seem to give one conclusion (without even linking to any counterarguments). That's where wikipedia shines - they list multiple sources and list both pro + con and arguments + counterarguments usually by listing from multiple sources. | ||

I use one or two 200mg caffeine pills about 3-4 times/week, and I'm not really having any problems with it. o_O | ||

So many random people dropping facts that they saw on the internet. If you ask me the nr1 factor in being healthy is ur mental state. I've seen heavy smokers that never have any health problems and I've seen vegans that were unhealthy as hell. why? The smoker just enjoyed life and the vegan obsesively wanted to be healthy. Just live ur life, do whatever u want, but not too much. There's some facts for u. | ||

Just because the human body is so good at fighting poisons should not mean that we should keep injecting them. I too once met a man who claimed to never had any major illness until, you know, he was diagnosed with COPD(from 40 yr long smoking) and got hooked to an oxygen tank for the rest of his life. A good mental state is important but you should aim to get that without endangering you body. | ||

But my point is that u shouldn't think about health with everything you eat/do. | ||
