A couple of years ago I did my body harm by trying to drink the recommended 64 ounces of water a day. I choked it down every day for a week until I flushed the electrolytes from my body and ended up with heart palpitations. I have definite opinions against telling people to drink tons of water. This was recommended to me by a naturopathic doctor and it is the best stuff. I try to drink a couple of glasses of this a day and always have it with me when I exercise. When I'm feeling drained in the early afternoon a glass of this perks me right up. It's sweetened with Stevia so there are only 15 calories in a scoop. I wish I'd had it when I was dealing with morning sickness. I've read that it's highly recommended for that since dehydration is a big factor. I would recommend going to a store like Whole Foods or Earth Fare, and trying some individual packets in different flavors to see which one you like best. Then buy a big canister here as this really is the best price.
