I drink nothing but tap-water all day long because tap-water is slightly alkaline and does a body good. Coffee, on the other hand, is highly acidic. Sweetened soda has an acidic effect on the body too. Tea, depending on what kind it is, and whether or not it's sweetened, can have an acidic effect on the body. (Alcohol is acidic too.)

In addition to beverages, there are various foods that make the body acidic as well. And a highly acidic diet provides an environment favorable to the development of cancer.

You shouldn't need to drink acidic beverages as a pick-me-up. If you're healthy, you should wake up in the morning refreshed and eager to get on with the day. If you're not healthy and don't wake up refreshed, see your doctor.

So no liquids for you, eh Doug?





Sandy likes a cup or two of coffee in the a.m. She has to go with decaf - doctor's orders. Me? I never acquired a taste for coffee. Occasionally some hot tea or sweet tea (especially Southern sweet!), but neither of them in the mornings.
