Re: Water vs. Carbos

["Maggie Mieske" <mmieske@netonecom.net>]

I can only take those sport drinks diluted with water (half and half) and
have found that having a good cold (even warmish) "meal replacement"  kind
of drink based in milk (Slim Fast, Carnation Instant Breakfast, etc.) at a
vet check really keeps me going!  I simply can't eat a lot of junk food
(heck, not any!) and am often too wired to eat a sandwich or anything of
substance.  Given a choice, I would really rather have iced tea on the
trail but on a hot day, I can't stand to drink it if it's warm.  I have
heard though that the tannic acid in tea helps with nausea?  Anyone else
read about that?  If I am worked up and excited to the point of nausea, a
few sips of iced tea puts me right again.
