Gave up Iced Tea
So I normally drink about 2 quarts of unsweetened iced tea. I really love iced tea.
Unfortunately more and more it becomes apparant that I'm either diabetic or on the verge, probably a result of drinking 2-3 liters of coca-cola every day of my life until my mid-twenties, when I switched to diet coke, then about a year ago, when I switched to iced tea.
Lately I began to get really light headed after a lot of iced tea, my head would feel foggy. I don't get energy from caffeine, haven't for years and years, if anything I often have gotten tired from a lot of caffeine. So a couple days ago, I stopped drinking the iced tea, just plain ice water.
So unfortunately I have been feeling better. Why unfortunately? Because that means the caffeine was probably the issue. I don't really even miss it, which bugs me even more. I really like the anti-cancer aspects of tea, but I guess I'll find a supplement or something if I really want it.
