Yogurt Comments: Who would have thought that yogurt could be so confusing?!? An 8 oz. container of plain yogurt will usually have the most calcium. From there, it can drop by 100-300 mg depending on the size of container and other ingredients used which decrease the volume of milk. When decreasing the size of...

Personally, one of the best things that came out of last week’s Handmade Bicycle Show was meeting and getting to know Nick Frey. Prior to the show, I had been looking through the list of exhibitors and something about Boo Bicycles caught my eye. That led to the Pre-NAHBS post I did on the company, which...

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea). I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean ”lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.
My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.
Answer:
Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out. Have you tried either of these? Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
