No Soda how about Hawaiian Punch

Since I quit soda for June (wow only 2 days left :), I have been drinking a lot more water, but also I have been using single packets for flavor.  My favorite has been Hawaiian Punch.  Target dollar spot usually has 8 packets for a dollar, which works out to 12 cents per packet.  I usually have 2 a day.  Now I have to go read a study on Aspartame...

If you don't have a Target near you, I have found you can also buy cases at Dollar Tree online for the same price (but in bulk).  Enjoy!

Article on sugar and food

I have been hesitant to post, but I have decided to cut out soda for a month.  I have to say it isn't the easiest thing, it is all over the place, and if you go out the only alternative is typically water or lemon aid (a cheat? maybe).  I have been faithful for the last 9 days (wow!?), though it hasn't been easy.  Oh, did I mention that there is a free soda fountain at work?  So am I giving up a part of my compensation?

Read this article on Lifehacker, it is pretty interesting.  It explains the issue with High Fructose Corn Syrup, America's favorite little sugar.
