Unsweet, I Am A Diabetic

Finally, good fighting words!!!

If the spoon won't stand up on the glass that means it's tea flavored syrup, not tea. Why bother with tea at all when Kool Aid tastes the same? Ack!

And yes I did club baby seals a few times but only after drinking a glass of sugar with some water and tea in it.


It's a known fact that people who drink unsweet tea are smarter.

I thought you said smarter? How is that possible if they are drinking unsweet. I think thats an oxymoron.

That was something I was waiting to mention here. While I'm not diabetic limiting sugar and carb intake is a priority for me and should be for everyone.

I like that ChooksChick mentioned using Agave and Stevia, both are healthier alternatives. Honey works great too but is still sugar, just better sugar.

I prefer my iced tea to be sweetened, not syrupy, but sweetened, BUT since last visiting the doctor, I have been diagnosed borderline diabetic so now I drink my iced tea plain, no sugar added. Sometimes I will put some artificial sweetener in it, but most of the time, I just drink it "straight." It really isn't so bad once you get used to it, right?

Unsweet!

I always have a pitcher of unsweet iced tea in the fridge at all times.

I LOVE tea, any kind, hot, cold, sweet, unsweet... only thing I don't like is the "fake" tea they try to get away with serving as real tea, like china mist and some other nasty crud.

That having been said, I drink all my tea unsweetened as I am trying to cut down on calories.

For you my dear I would make an exception. Where's my glass?

Oxymoron; NOUN: A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist Jumbo Shrimp,

And yes, I'm just joking... don't nobody go postal on me. I just need to get a life!
