Getting off the grid... the Corn Grid

Side Project: Finding an alternative drink.

Right now I drink Crystal Light, not for diet reasons, but for sugar-sitting-on-the-teeth reasons. But I've always known I need to find an alternative, and now that I'm conducting my anti-corn experiment, this must be The Time. Corn dextrin is the main ingredient.

I know, I know, I should just drink water. Well... I can't. It makes my stomach glurgly! And I can't just add some lemon to water, because I'm allergic to citrus--I get cankers like a moze-foze. So I'm experimenting with herbal tea, and then I'll experiment with adding a little sweetener (agave or maple syrup)... juuuust enough to give it some pizazz. Will keep you updated.

I've got to work on my hot drinks too. Right now I use faux sugar (probably made from CORN!) to sweeten my hot chocolates or chai lattés, but I think I'll switch over to Stevia. It's a real sugar, but doesn't rampage through your blood sugar the way refined sugar does.

It's all very exciting.
