The best before date on bottled water
Water seems like a commodity that can't go bad, so what is up with the best before dates that companies are printing on their labels? Do they really mean anything?After some research I have found that there is no rule from the FDA that water bottle companies are required to print a best before date. What these dates indicate is that the best quality of the water will be before this date. You will find that when you put water in a bottle after a few days or a while the water will start to taste a little different.Some times if the water tastes different after the best before date this is an indicator of the chemicals from the plastic leaching into the water. This causes some health concerns, but the chemicals don't really need a lot of time to leach into the water. You will notice that nothing grows in a sealed water bottle but within 2 weeks of opening it you should drink it or toss it because it can start to grow bacteria or mold.
I am diabetic. Can I drink hot chocolate?
if you drink
it in moderation you can have hot chocolate with diabetes. It's better to make
your own with unsweetened cocoa powder and then use artificial sweeteners to make
it taste sweeter. You can use packet hot chocolate but you must read the
nutritional information at the back so you know what's in it. You can also buy low-sugar versions.
Is it ok to drink hot chocolate during pregnancy?
Yes. Women
are generally recommended to cut down on their caffeine intake during
pregnancy but the amount of caffeine in
a cup of hot chocolate is much less than you find in coffee or even tea.
So keep
drinking your hot chocolate. Obviously an excess of anything isn't good for
you, so just aim for a balanced healthy diet.
Can you drink sparkling water after initial 16 oz
"Seltzer water is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide under high pressure, which creates the bubbles," says
Toni Marinucci, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian with a master's degree in nutrition and dietetics. "In simpler terms, seltzer is carbonated water therefore the ingredients should just read carbonated water. If it is a flavored seltzer then the ingredients should read: carbonated water, natural flavor."
As long as it doesn't have large amounts of sodium or sugar, you can drink as much sparkling water as regular water - no limits.
