OT - I went to a Japanese fast food joint recently, and they had unsweetened iced green tea in bottles from Japan. In Japan, iced teas are very popular. Wide varieties are available in most vending machines, and are usually unsweetened. I really enjoyed them during my short stay in Japan (summer 1991), oolong is nice on ice when it's sweltering in Tokyo.

Anyway, the Japanese green ice tea was very good, even if the food was so-so. My wife decided to replicate it at home, but added sugar. It was a completely different animal, not nearly as refreshing or flavorful.

Sweeteners are good in "American" ice tea, but I prefer to take my Asian teas "neat."

jm, i'm not saying it is optimally healthy. it is a trade off.

i hear a lot of people tell me how bad diet soda are, but they seem to not know that excessive natural sugar and excessing high glycemic carbs are killing people by the 100s of thousands.

again, water is better. i typically dilute my diet drinks and rarely drink diet soda. i know they aren't "good for you," but they aren't too bad in moderation.
