It is all I can do to drink it, I hate it and find myself rather close to throwing a child-like fit when I get to the third of my many glasses that I should drink a day. But, thanks to sugar free cinnimon gum, I am starting to learn that this dislike of H2O might be more related to being "thirsty" than the taste. When I chew this gum, I get really thirsty and can drink water like a fish. Can anybody tell me why this is and if there are any negatives to my new found crutch?

It's funny, those that don't have this aversion, can't understand what we're talking about, and they think we're nuts!

Drink herbal, non-caffienated teas, crystal light, caffiene free diet soda, sparkling water, sugar-free flavored water, so many options!

I have tried putting a little lemon in my water, doesn't help much though... I guess I am just looking for a way to get more of the pure stuff..you know, without the sodium and other additives. Asimmer, I do love a good drink of water...but only when I am thirsty...it's when I am not active and not needing to quench my thirst that I have the most problem...since nobody reports any major drawback to the cinnimon gun thing, I will continue with that...where can I find this Dragon gum you like? As always, thanks for the advice everybody!!

I had braces when I was a kid and wasn't allowed to chew it... so, for the time I had the braces I stayed away from it... can probably count the amount I've chewed since on two hands... now if I chew it, it makes me hungry and makes my gums itch... (dunno if that's weird or not!) And really, I can't see the point in chewing gum... if you're chewing something, don't you just wanna swallow it? :laugh: t -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self."
