Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 My husband has a type of diabetes where he is supposed to control it w/diet. He says he won't drink orange juice in the morning because it turns to sugar, and if he is eating something like grits or bread, he needs to be sure not to have too many carbs or bad things all at once. So, he drinks diet soda at breakfast. I worry that all the diet soda is bad for him because of the aspartame. I would like to know what in the heck he should drink. He gets tired of water and is not much of a coffee drinker. He is not fond of milk. So, what is left?

I would advise him to leave the diet soda alone, I think the aspartame is really bad for him. What about tea? Seems like that would be a much nicer drink especially at breakfast. Celestial Seasonings has a multitude of flavors to suit his mood and keep things interesting. Right now in my cupboard I have Blueberrry, Strawberry, Black Cherry Berry, Raspberry Zinger and Peach. The best thing is that these teas are caffeine free and 100% natural herb teas. Zero calories, fat, sodium, carbs, sugars, and they taste great even without any sweetners! Give them a try, he won't be dissappointed! Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
