>>>I drink unsweetened teas (hot and cold), coffee, juices (very sweet actually and may get taxed), and every now and then lemonade which does have sugar in it.

>>I was talking to a dietician who told me that people should really stay away from juices. Instead of drinking orange juice, eat an orange. It's way better for you. She is someone I trust. Feet firmly on the ground. When I started on my weight loss campaign, she told me not to get crazy. She actually said, "If you get cravings to eat 5 cookies, only eat 3".

>>I drink water, milk - 1% fine filtered (mmmmmmm), and tea. Often I drink water and tea at the same time. ;)

>>I've never been a fan of soft drinks. Even in my much much younger days, I didn't drink soft drinks. I did however, from time to time, drink 'mix'.

>>I did become terribly addicted recently to Werther's Originals, but my dentist told me to lay off or he'd have to kill me. I switched to Werther's sugarless, and they are actually very good believe it or not (normally I hate fake sugar in things because of the aftertaste, but these are great - caramel mint, caramel coffee, and regular).

>Yeah, I've read and heard numerous times about how fattening fruit juices are :o) They are so good though! I eat fruit when I can, but I like cranberry juice and I'm sorry, but I just don't care to eat cranberries! :o)

Cranberries and I are ancient enemies. I hate the stuff - berries and juice. They are another of Gods little jokes on the human race (like brussel sprouts). "Here, let's put these down there and see what they do with them. Oh my Self, look at that, they're eating the stuff! Bwaaaaahaaaahaaaa, I can't stand it."
