    OMG! A new drink that's tasty

    Hey all,

    DH and I found drink at an event over the weekend that didn't throw me off plan!

    Bionic Products - Transcending the future

    It has no sugar, carbs, calories, etc. I'm going to have my friend from Vegas buy some the next time she's down to visit me.

    It tasted good, too. I hope they'll be in wider distribution soon.

    Enjoy!
    Shelley

      My mom's acupuncturist--who saved her life from cancer--has reviewed the ingredients and does not find any of them unsafe.

      When you consider Red Bull has resulted in people having strokes due to over-consumption, these ingredients pale in comparison. IMHO.

      I wasn't trying to force it on anyone, simply pass on information.

        I'm glad your mother's life was saved!

        A disclaimer ... I know everything you read on the Internet isn't true, but a quick Google search does turn up some hits.

        yerba mate

        gotu kola extract

        InteliHealth:

        guarna extract

        Guarana

        At least two of the ingredients contain caffeine (it is an energy drink after all!) ... and for those that are avoiding caffeine, this drink wouldn't be a good choice at all.

        The biggest concern I would have with the ingredients would be the yerba mate ... and it's possible relation to cancer.

        True, I'm not schooled in herbs, but there's enough warning in multiple places for me!

        And you know it doesn't count towards your water!

        Enjoy!!

          I don't know about most of those ingredients, but I do know a little about yerba mate. I don't think it has any calories! It is a myth that yerba mate has caffeine in it...sort of. The caffeine molecule is present, but is blocked by so many nutrients that there are no negative side-effects when it is drunk. This new molecule is known as "matein." When you drink yerba mate you will have an "awake and alert feeling" from adrenaline, but no jitters, crash, hypertension, etc. Some yerba mate companies may say it has caffeine it in it, but probably only to not add to confusion. I've heard it may help you lose weight because it is a natural energy booster.

            Yoda,

            Thank you.

            I was beginning to feel attacked when all I was trying to do was pass along information, not force anything on anyone.

            I appreciate your note.

              No one was attacking you!

              I, too, was trying to pass along information.
