You can take green tea pills. They help burn fat, reduce the risk of cancer, and have natural caffeine.

Been away for almost a week now, and had to catch up on your posts...I MUST get one of those mugs!

What - did you give up Diet Dr. Pepper for Lent?

Who the hell cares about caffeine? It's the Aspartame I'd be worried about. Drink coffee, it may tan your tummy, but it won't cause brain tumors. :)

I guess Brother Joe didn't have this figured when he created the WoW. Oh that's right, Joe didn't follow the WoW to begin with... Oh well.

On a positive note... Dr. Pepper is certified kosher. ;)

hmmm...never seen it spelled out like that. interesting.

why are you giving it up? fuck that. lame. stand up for what you believe in.

this is bad news all around.

Imbibing in the "Dark Waters" is perhaps my favorite activities.

I cannot stop my Diet Coke habit. I would have a stroke from withdrawl. Seriously, it is too late for me. It is like a tumor that has wrapped a billion tentacles around my spine and would cause death to remove.

Besides that, I love it.

I've been trying to cut back on my DP intake (it's not exactly cheap to down 3-4 cans a day, and yeah, my health isn't that great when I'm doing so) but the headaches were awful at first. Then I started upping the amount of tea I drank... 3-4 cups a day is fantastically good for you, and the caffeine content is there, without all that sugar (or even worse, sugar substitute).
And the whole tannin/"they use that to tan leather!" argument (often spouted by the mo-mo crew) is nonsense. The tannins used to make the leather tanning fluids come from oak. Plus, yes, there are tannins in teas, but they are also in wines, and pomegranates... but no one goes around saying "Hey! Don't eat that pomegranate! It's like eating tanning solution!"

(and this Captcha is making me laugh... so topical)
