Why is healthy stuff so expensive and gross?


Sinister

pari animositate
Turns out, this stuff has little if any benefit despite saying its a probiotic, and anti oxidant...on and on. Also turns out, some people have died from drinking it. Possibly.

The label says it has naturally occurring alcohol. However I must say on that end I am disappointed and remain quite sober.

It's expensive and tastes disgusting.

Stuff like this is why poor people in this country are also often obese. Odd paradox but it's true.

I really hope the probiotic part of this doesn't kick in at an inopportune time.

How much did that snake oil cost?

And I would not worry much about it killing you. Water probably kills more people annually than that concoction does.

Save money, seek out fermented veggies. Or, ferment them yourself, it's pretty easy and likely my next health project.

Oh yeah. and something cheap if you are taking in probiotics is to also get some apple cider vinegar into your diet. It feeds the probiotics.

With just a bit of work, healthy is not expensive.
 
I'm still grossed out today every time I think of my time down the Amazon River a long time ago. I remember seeing women in one village in the jungle making alcohol. They were chewing up sometime then spitting it in a large pot. That pot would sit for a while to ferment. I saw another pot that was ready and it was bad. Your pretty much drinking thick slimy spit.

Oh, and not to mention the monkey brains spread on my grilled meat in lieu of salt

Aaaaand that's why their societies never evolved much beyond hunting and gathering. :toothpick:

was it Gatorade that has/had a chemical in it that some fire depts in (England..??) used to make thier fire fighting gear flame proof.>????

might as well drink asbestos, straight up.....

Gatorade: Don’t put flame retardant chemicals in sports drinks!
 
Or you could just have an energy drink....

taurine.webp


It's an organic molecule (not an amino acid) named for the Latin taurus, which means ox or bull because taurine is is extracted from bull semen and ox bile.
 
I have never been into the energy drinks. I think I am caffeine sensitive. My skin crawls when i have had too much coffee or coffee too late in the day.
