Drink tea. Black tea ~1 bag / glass water. No sugar. Tea (both green and black) have the highest amount of any food substance which contains antioxidants (blueberries being second). It also has that caffeine fix you still need from drinking soda. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
