Could This Deliciousness Be Making Us Sick?

Wouldn’t that be horrible if all of these powders that we love so, are making us feel worse?  We know that they didn’t cause Leigh-Ann’s FMS because she had it before the drinks existed.  However, I got sick just as we switched from Gatorade (after my surgery) to powdered singles in our water bottles.  Hmmmm.  But, they’re sooo good.  The Celestial Seasonings Zingers (not pictured) don’t have any aspartame in them, and they’re pretty good too, although more expensive.  We’ve also discovered that the Stevia Company makes four flavors of powders with all-natural Stevia in them, instead of chemical junk.  We’ll have to check to see if Whole Foods carries them.

Hmmm, I said I was going to write about something fun, huh?  Later today, I promise.  No wait, later today I’ll write about the free discount pharmacy cards you can get online that’ll save you money, if you don’t have insurance, or if you’re like me and wiped out your pharmacy benefits for the year in March.  You can save lots and lots of money with these cards.  I only wish we’d known about them sooner.

update - Tomorrow, we’re going artificial sweetener free for a week or two, to see if we feel any differently.  We put away probably $50+ of drink singles, and if we feel better without them, we’ll donate them to people who are craving the danger of artificial sweeteners.  I wish we both liked drinking plain water, but we just don’t.  We like flavor in our lives, so we’ll figure out a way to get it without damaging ourselves in the process.
