I like the last information about how much to drink. That one is something we don't always see. I didn't know that I could drink as much as I wanted to as long as I could still sleep well :)
However, I guess I still wouldn't drink more than a cup of coffee. I do like my coffee sweet and that means calories :)
Great drink this is a must have for all people to remain healthy and keep diseases at bay.
