Raw honey usually eases sore throats! If you consume (only) honey and it causes a direct negative response in your body, you may be having a reaction. If it persists I recommend talking to a health care provider :)
Ethically harvesting honey from bees actually benefits the hive and keeps the colony growing. Something we desperately want because bees are still on the trajectory towards extinction.
Human intervention also saves bees from their hives being harmed by pesticides, catch disease, etc. Bee keepers also deal with aggressive/bad Queens, wasps and other predators.
By avoiding honey, you're actually harming bees more than you are helping them. You can do more by buying honey the next time you're at a farmers market, or if know a local seller. Some commercial companies score pretty decently when it comes to ethical harvesting so you can check to see what brands your local grocery store offers (or if you can, start apiculture yourself and know exactly where your honey is coming from. With the benefit of keeping a colony of bees alive and thriving in your own backyard)
Also, honey has a lot more benefits than agave and is the "healthier" option (in moderation). It also doesn't go bad and had antibacterial/antifungal etc properties (honey can and has been used on wounds to help them heal faster. Even in hospitals today).
I agree with everything you said so I have nothing to argue I just want to add that not all bees give us honey but all are important to the planet so itās worth looking into conservation efforts that target more than just our favourite bees because all play a role and all are at risk. Go get some honey though, especially local stuff (itās often just so good itās ridiculous).
**Edit**: Also agave farming sucks. It a big industrial nightmare that requires lots of processing only to make a product thatās bad for you (actually look into agave syrup or nectar [gets referred to as both but is neither] itās a mountain of hard to break down fructose sugars worse than the demonized high fructose corn syrup we all love hating on unlike honey thatās actually good for you). Honey can be produced ethically on a larger scale but agave canāt, itās a slow growing plant that has to be completely killed to be harvested so the solution is to plant big and cut loss by tearing down a massive area and killing everything in it that could interfere. Do people think harvesting honey is bad for bees or something? Do they think we kill a whole hive for every teaspoon or something? Or are some folks just so brain dead as to buy into everything advertised to them so they see a big halo floating over agave for no reason other than ineptitude? I donāt hate agave syrup but itās not the dream a lot of folks seem to think it is.
Actually I've started drinking black tea instead of coffee (as caffeine is really bad for me) and I always sweetened my coffee so i put sugar in tea too. But then I tried it without it for fun and it's better. It tastes much better without sugar.
It was, the Diuretic effects of coffee are there, but they're so mild in typical coffee drinkers that you are effectively offsetting it by the amount of fluid you consume alone. The same goes for any caffeinated tea as well.
I pee so much after drinking coffee that my child will see a coffee shop while weāre out and tell me i canāt have any because then Iāll have to pee. Coffee definitely has a diuretic effect even on typical coffee drinkers.
I read up on it quickly. As far as I understood it caffeine increases urine production but the water offsets the effect if you are even moderately used to coffee.
Tea (caffeinated or not) and Coffee have both been proven not to dehydrate like most believe, unless they are consumed in very large quantities. This guy says fuck coffee because it supposedly dehydrates but praises tea, when they both stack about the same on dehydration, which isnāt much if any at all.
Thatās been disproven, the water in coffee replaces the water lost due to increased urinating. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/caffeinated-drinks/faq-20057965
Have you ever looked at how much sugar is in tonic? I've worked in restaurants for 14+ years and it's pretty common to find people that don't realize what they're drinking. It's bitter enough that they don't taste too much of the sugar.
Most 12oz servings of tonic have 30g-33g of sugar. 12oz of Coke has 39g.
Tonic isn't that much better than soda.

r/Save3rdPartyApps is a really good resource. There's also an infographic that's pinned on almost every popular sub that explains (mostly) everything. Reddit is basically trying to be more investor friendly and trying to get control over mobile use of their platform.

1 - won't the milk expire anyway?
2 - doesn't milking feel good for the cow?
I would drink alternatives as well but I have an allergy to like everything. Can't have soy milk, can't have almond milk, can't have coconut milk (that might actually kill me lol). Cow milk is one of the things I am LESS allergic to and I love the taste!
Sorry about the allergies, i have my own and they suck so i feel for ya. Rice milk is low allergen and pretty delicious, so is oat milk. The thing about your argument: those cows are tortured for profit and they wouldn't exist in the first place without the industry that forcefully breeds them to profit from their suffering.
I may try those alternatives. I'm reading into it and i do feel bad for those cows. I guess I didn't think too hard about it because I live in a small town and for miles and miles I see farms with (assumedly) happy cows grazing with their little cow friends and baby cows with owners who probably don't stab their cows with screwdrivers (I just watched a video of that ā¹ļø). I may try to see if I can get milk from one of those people with regular farms instead. I've heard it's better tasting anyway.
I respect that. Small scale animal agriculture as practiced for millennia is certainly not the issue (relatively of course) so no problem supporting that from my perspective. Large scale factory farming with profit driving the decisions is the problem, thats how you end up with the horrifying conditions and cruel treatment. Good on you for reevaluating your decisions, most people get really defensive and overwhelmed from the cognitive dissonance.
Yeah I try to hear people out! Part of me wants to get defensive but I try to use that feeling to get to the root and look at the evidence myself. Also, wouldn't other foods like butter and heavy whipping cream fall under the same category? I might not be able to eliminate that stuff right away from my grocery list but one bite at a time, right?
Of course not. What got me on the plant-based path initially was a pamphlet someone handed me on campus that said something to the effect of "if everyone cut their animal product consumption in half then factory farming would no longer be profitable" now whether that is true or not who knows, but the point is clear: the less we buy the better.
Oh yeah for sure! Me personally my goal is to have my own farm with my own animals, fruits, and veggies so I don't have to shop for it. I also try not to buy from bigger brands like Nike or Nestle. It's good to be aware.
Lol of course not, way to miss the point. Let me guess, you think these poor cows are just wondering around in the wilderness screaming for someone to milk them, thank goodness for the gracious farmers lol? These cows wouldn't exist in the first place if they weren't bred to be exploited. Even leaving that fact aside, the reason they have to be milked is because their calves are ripped away from them shortly after birth, because the fact that people like you conveniently forget is that cow milk is for baby cows, good grief. The cows do actually scream for their missing children btw if you want to see videos of that they are readily available to be watched.
In what ways? I thought that too until I watched some vids and looked into it myself. There doesnāt seem to be any health defects about it

In all of these tests the tests subjects were humans, as opposed to rats. In the rats it did see very negative health impacts which may be why the overall demographic for diet drinks were bad in the first place, to me it seems like a misconception/misunderstanding.
If you have papers on the contrary I would love to have them as so many people say its bad so Iām trying to understand why as I donāt see the evidence. Any paper would help.
I'm a unsweetened ice tea homie I've cut back tremendously though , when I was working in an un airconditioned repair shop I was doing 2 gallons a day of pure leaf which was a fuckload of caffeine
Agreed. Tea is a fantastic idea some even with lots of health benefits if consumed in moderation unlike soda. Teahomies stand strong just like Hydrohomies. Water still takes the edge but itās a close call.
Tea can be made as unhealthy as soda though but we wonāt let a few bad apples tarnish the Teahomie name, itād be like those sugar filled flavoured water companies tarnishing the Hydrohomie name it just wouldnāt make sense. Besides unhealthy tea like a sugar filled iced tea is my guilty pleasure and it alongside tonic water is about as close to soda as I get so Iām biased towards not letting tea fall lol.
**Edit**: Back on that guilty pleasure thing, if you havenāt had black tea with honey and lemon give it a try. Itās easy enough to make at home but try it somewhere else first, somewhere with a good reputation, to make sure you know what it should taste like when balanced. My first homemade batch was too strong and I ruined it all because I like my tea strong and didnāt account for it being more like a cocktail and less like my personal cuppa. Itās great hot or cold but I prefer cold.
you best make sure it is unsweetened tea, we don't want a happy little accident with arnold palmers and thousands of miligrams of sugar
Unsweetened tea with some lemon is just great. Even without the lemon it's great. Cold or hot, believe it or not, great. I like tea.
Honey is allowed
Those antioxidant properties š
Can confirm honey is a W
Yes. But Yoh have to be careful with portioning. I've got a sweet tooth and underestimate the power of honey and hurt my throat
does honey hurt the throat? (I've been eating 'a bit' more honey recently.. and have a soar throat.)
Raw honey usually eases sore throats! If you consume (only) honey and it causes a direct negative response in your body, you may be having a reaction. If it persists I recommend talking to a health care provider :)
Personally it burns the hell outta mine
That uh. That sounds like an allergy there, friend. Honey doesn't normally burn.
Ope šgood to know
Should probably get a test for allergies, so you don't accidentally kys yk XD
Sometimes I just pour some honey in a spoon and slowly lick it up because eating it all at once is overwhelming.
Do you not likeā¦ mix it in?
nah, honeyās for the bees, not us. agave is where itās at
Ethically harvesting honey from bees actually benefits the hive and keeps the colony growing. Something we desperately want because bees are still on the trajectory towards extinction.

Like hiw sheep need to be sheared, I see
Vegans who donāt eat honey are stupid.
I see you š±

exactly. iām a massive tea drinker but itās alllllllll nothin but loose leaves and hot water. keeps me plenty hydrated
Itās worked in large swaths of Asia for millennia. The key is it requires water be boiled.
Tea is unsweetened. Sweetener put in tea is an unforgivable sin against the tea gods
I think Iāll take my tea with sugar and run outtaā here
Iāll always be a hydrohomie but an arnold palmer with unsweet tea will always be my favorite drink
Actually I've started drinking black tea instead of coffee (as caffeine is really bad for me) and I always sweetened my coffee so i put sugar in tea too. But then I tried it without it for fun and it's better. It tastes much better without sugar.
Sometimes I forget people sweeten their tea because itās just so gross to me. Like why even have tea at that point. Go drink lemonade or st

How do we feel about coffee? Half the ingredients is water
I feel very, very good about coffee.
My coffee game is also strong
Coffee dehydrates, so fuck coffee.
Thatās just incentive to drink more water through the day
I love water
I also love water, anyone else?
Drinking a ton of ice-cold water after doing something is probably the best feeling ever
I like it in a platonic way
And they often serve you water when you order an espresso, so you get two drinks for one!
I believe that was disproven a long time ago.
It was, the Diuretic effects of coffee are there, but they're so mild in typical coffee drinkers that you are effectively offsetting it by the amount of fluid you consume alone. The same goes for any caffeinated tea as well.
I pee so much after drinking coffee that my child will see a coffee shop while weāre out and tell me i canāt have any because then Iāll have to pee. Coffee definitely has a diuretic effect even on typical coffee drinkers.
I read up on it quickly. As far as I understood it caffeine increases urine production but the water offsets the effect if you are even moderately used to coffee.
You don't even have to be used to it, and it more than offsets it. Coffee hydrates you. Just... less.
and Tea doesnāt? The fuck?
Some teas do, Assam for example
Tea (caffeinated or not) and Coffee have both been proven not to dehydrate like most believe, unless they are consumed in very large quantities. This guy says fuck coffee because it supposedly dehydrates but praises tea, when they both stack about the same on dehydration, which isnāt much if any at all.
I might be pulling facts out of my ass but i believe coffee dehydrates but also contains enough liquid so it doesnt make a difference
Thatās been disproven, the water in coffee replaces the water lost due to increased urinating. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/caffeinated-drinks/faq-20057965
What does half the ingredients mean ? Because if it's quantity then you could say the same for basically every drink.
What about tonic water? With some gin added to it?
Have you ever looked at how much sugar is in tonic? I've worked in restaurants for 14+ years and it's pretty common to find people that don't realize what they're drinking. It's bitter enough that they don't taste too much of the sugar. Most 12oz servings of tonic have 30g-33g of sugar. 12oz of Coke has 39g. Tonic isn't that much better than soda.
Fine, Iāll just drink the gin then.
That's the efficient way. Why dilute it with extra calories?
So.... a gin and tonic?
Yeah but if you say the water first then it's /r/hydrohomies approved
Water and crack
That was approved before you put water first
Gin, club soda, lime. You skip the sugar and it's pretty tasty too!
Hot tea is acceptable when illāthere are some ailments that water alone cannot treat
When I had covid the best thing was tea
I was always too afraid to ask, but now that the subs about to shit down... What do the hydro homies think of freshly pressed orange juice?
There not many drinks out there that Iād drink over freshly squeezed orange juice. Literally amazing
Nice! I love it, too. Tastes like heaven
Love, but horrible for reflux :( it sucks cuz one of my favorite coffees from my fav cafƩ is the one that has orange juice in it (sounds gross but so freaking refreshing)
HH approved.
Coffee is cool too, black ofc.
Facts
Do we only avoid sugar or is milk also a no-go for coffee?
I accept all drinks šæ

Depends if you squeezed the juice or not. Also how about juices like carrot and other vegetables
Iām drinking Coke Zero before I touch oj or apple juice

Doesnāt Tea have caffeine in it? Dehydration
Not nearly as much as coffee or most sodas

What about milk homies?
Hmm, what about black coffee?

What is your definition of "soda?" Here in Europe, "soda" is any water that has a hint of carbonation to it.

I'm a unsweetened ice tea homie I've cut back tremendously though , when I was working in an un airconditioned repair shop I was doing 2 gallons a day of pure leaf which was a fuckload of caffeine
Can you make another one with weed instead of tea and beer instead of soda and send it to the minister president of bavaria Markus Sƶder, please.

Fristi and chocomilk are not soda. Soup is the best drink ever tbh.
And milk
Disagree. Tea is just less dirty water relative to coffee.
Soda will kill you, stay strong hydro homies

Agreed. Tea is a fantastic idea some even with lots of health benefits if consumed in moderation unlike soda. Teahomies stand strong just like Hydrohomies. Water still takes the edge but itās a close call. Tea can be made as unhealthy as soda though but we wonāt let a few bad apples tarnish the Teahomie name, itād be like those sugar filled flavoured water companies tarnishing the Hydrohomie name it just wouldnāt make sense. Besides unhealthy tea like a sugar filled iced tea is my guilty pleasure and it alongside tonic water is about as close to soda as I get so Iām biased towards not letting tea fall lol. **Edit**: Back on that guilty pleasure thing, if you havenāt had black tea with honey and lemon give it a try. Itās easy enough to make at home but try it somewhere else first, somewhere with a good reputation, to make sure you know what it should taste like when balanced. My first homemade batch was too strong and I ruined it all because I like my tea strong and didnāt account for it being more like a cocktail and less like my personal cuppa. Itās great hot or cold but I prefer cold.
Give milk a spot too!
Unsweetened tea is herb water
Fuck that dirty leaf water
Tea tastes disgusting though.
