Coffee with sugar: Only a couple cups of my evil brew or as much as a
quart of a 7-11's or McD's over several hours.
Red Bull occasionally, if I need a bit more stimulation.
There's always some degree of crash with caffiene so if I have
something to do I have to do it quick. Can't code or hack or analyse
on the crash.
A cuppa of PG Tips or such with sugar or honey every couple of hours
or so if I don't need a major caffeine rush for the day. It's
preferred when I don't want to be interrupted by anything, epsecially
restroom breaks. Bladders full of caffeine tend to derail trains of
thought and and tear up track as well.
If it's a cola with sugar, it seems better than a cola with HFCS,
which generally makes me feel rotten. A sugar soda makes me feel
better and doesn't make me eventually feel worse than before, like
HFCS sodas. I rarely drink soda and I definitely prefer the ones with
sugar, which definitely has a different and much better taste than
HFCS, BTW. I tend to stick with brands that exclusively use sugar,
like Jones.
I quit drinking diet sodas containing that alleged sweetener approved
by the remnants of the Carter FDA in 1980 after I noticed (after a
bout of flu) that I stunk of formaldehyde. And since then my brain has
recovered somewhat.
I couldn't help but notice that a marked increase in diabetes and
other digestive and liver problems seemed to correlate to the
increasing use and consumption of sweeteners other than sugar and
saccharins. It must be simple coincidence. Of course. Right?
