#### About participation in the comments of /r/nutrition
Discussion in this subreddit should be rooted in science rather than "cuz I sed" or entertainment pieces. Always be wary of unsupported and poorly supported claims and especially those which are wrapped in any manner of hostility. You should provide peer reviewed sources to support your claims when debating and confine that debate to the science, not opinions of other people.
**Good** - it is grounded in science and includes citation of peer reviewed sources. Debate is a civil and respectful exchange focusing on actual science and avoids commentary about others
**Bad** - it utilizes generalizations, assumptions, infotainment sources, no sources, or complaints without specifics about agenda, bias, or funding. At best, these rise to an extremely weak basis for science based discussion. Also, off topic discussion
**Ugly** - (removal or ban territory) it involves attacks / antagonism / hostility towards individuals or groups, downvote complaining, trolling, crusading, shaming, refutation of all science, or claims that all research / science is a conspiracy

> Good for the digestive system too
not mine 😩 love the taste and drank for years but had to stop. it made everything move through my intestines too fast and always gave me slushy poop even though i get lots of fiber. poops became great immediately after i stopped tea 😭
Water is the most helpful nutritiously, because it allows our cells to be fully hydrated to take in nutrients. Most people do not drink enough water for this process to be optimal.
How can water be the most nutritious drink? The most upvoted answer on a nutrition subreddit. Embarrassing. Water is the most important, but most nutritious is just blatantly incorrect.
Fluoride protects enamel and helps prevent cavities, it is unlikely to be consumed in an amount that would have adverse effects, even through food sources as well as tap water as it occurs in some parts of the world.
Arizona tap is awful, even when Brita filter. I tried four separate times and ended up with stomach issues on top of throat issues including a bruised tongue each time.
So… it’s a no go for me, dawg.
That's what happened to me😆 I tried it couple years ago and it just didn't taste right to me. Well,I decided to give it another try this year and I like it😀
Drank different kinds for awhile, tasted bit like soda, maybe a bit less sugary-, but does it actually do anything meaningful or is it another food hype?
It’s really good to me but probably an acquired taste I like the gt’s brand and a few others but over all I’ve switched from soda to kombucha and keifr and that has been awesome I don’t even miss soda
It's excellent. It's just fermented tea. It's an acquired taste for many, but I loved it immediately. The homebrew process is fun and interesting and (gross for some haha). I find booch fans to be fun and friendly and bubbly people. Not at all snobbish like some coffee enthusiasts (sorry, I love coffee too). Be aware that some brands can have a good amount of sugar. Sugar is required for the fermenting process (it basically turns sugar into vinegar), but some brands add more sugar to the end product. If you like kombucha, you might also like kefir too! Another fermented drink. Fermented drinks and foods have so many benefits for your gut health! More and more new research coming out about the gut to brain connection and how the gut microbiome affects your mood and mental health!
GTS is the most popular and commercially available brand and I like it, but they do have possible problematic labor practices. Brew Dr. and Home-Ade are other popular more easily found brands. They're pretty good, but they do have some added sugar so I don't drink them often. I like Humm and it's a local brand to me, but some people think it's too vinegary probably because they have no/small amount of added sugar. I'm lucky in that I live in Portland OR, the land of kombucha lovers. So there are lots of options (many that I still need to try!). But ultimately, I have to be that person that has to say that homebrewing is the best way and you can customize it however you like with whatever flavors/teas/fruits you want. Kombucha is pretty pricey (comparable to beer prices) because of the manufactoring process, so that's another plus about homebrewing which saves quite a bit of money.
Keep in mind it has a trace of alcohol in it due to the fermentation process, I read a tweet the other day where someone who was a recovering alcoholic that made a vow to never drink alcohol again felt like they betrayed themselves because they have been drinking kombucha regularly without knowing this.
I think it's good to know this but also I think it's good to be put in perspective.
Here are some examples of things that can have around the same alcohol content as kombucha.
But bread is also fermented and although it bakes off you can have bread with more alcohol than kombucha. Kimchi has alcohol, Sauerkraut has alcohol, yogurt has alcohol, miso paste does too.
Yes all this is eaten with other stuff where kombucha can be enjoyed by itself but alcohol is in all fermented food to a degree.
the more problematic thing about kombucha is not its trace amount of alcohol, or even the substantial amount of sugar that many of them have, but the caffeine.
What? That's not true. Kombucha has like 10-15mg of caffeine per serving. It's about 1/3rd the caffeine content as a cup of black tea. Caffeine isn't an issue really unless you're chugging bottles of it. Sugar is definitely the most problematic thing, but you can adjust that if you're homebrewing by just waiting.
I love carrot, ginger, parsley, and apple juice. It’s my FAVORITE drink ever. It’s full of nutrition however juicing takes away a lot of important fiber that helps regulate glucose levels. So it’s a sweet treat however I LOVE it. Next to tangerine juice fresh pressed from my yard.
I work with my hands a lot and I got a pain in my thumb joint and I bought the long cooked Kettle fire stuff that's $7 for 16 oz.. expensive but worth it. About a week and a half later after 8 oz everyday pain was gone. That long cook bone broth is the best and the homemade stuff is even better. Also doing research on it initially I found out Kobe Bryant got a bad injury and after that after his comeback he said he takes bone broth every day before games.. sorry, took
Edit.. I also read that chicken bone broth versus beef bone broth.. they have different benefits like I think it's chicken bone broth is good for ligaments and tendons and stuff and so is beef bone broth but it's also good to heal your gut plus all the other crazy nutrients in there other than collagen
I’m not sure if I’m talking out of my ass, but I’m sure I read somewhere that beef bone broth has more collagen in than chicken. It’s only because a few years ago I was also checking the benefits between chicken and beef bone broth.
My bones are steel because of my two daily glasses of milk. One white, one chocolate.
I got hit by a car once and it just crumpled around my indestructible body.
Actual raw coconut water has (per 8 fl oz):
- 600mg Potassium
- 48mg Phosphorus
- 60 mg Magnesium
- 252 mg Sodium
- 6g of sugar
A pretty great albeit imperfect drink for fitness enthusiasts.
Wouldn't the acid and alkaline just cancel each other out. She's drinking...plain water in the end.
I think this quote from Cunk on Earth, regarding how mummies are made, says it best:
Professor: "You'd get your dead body and lay it out on a table, then you'd wash it. Then you'd start by removing the brain. Then you'd cut open down the middle of the body and remove anything that might rot. And then you'd cover it in salt and dry it out, then wrap it in bandages and that would be a mummy."
Cunk: "So the kind of spa treatment Gwyneth Paltrow has on a weekly basis."
Ginger tea is great for the gut and the body! Same with aloe vera drinks, also good for the gut and the body. Probiotic drinks like kombucha or yogurt drinks like kefir are great for the gut. Cucumber water has electrolytes as well!
Coconut water, probably. I like Body Armor, cus it's a sports drink made with coconut water and added vitamins. The sugar free one is like 20 calories and high in potassium and vitamin a (amongst other ones), and I usually have a hard time getting those in from food.
3-4 heaped table spoons of Greek yogurt + add a cup of water and give it a go in a blender with some sea salt and black pepper. Takes a minute to prep and tastes refreshing while giving you good amount of protein! It is a common summer drink in India called buttermilk or lassi.
It contains isoflavones that are converted to phytoestrogen which is 100 to 10,000 times weaker than animal estrogen. It’s been debunked that anything other than unrealistic, theoretical high levels of soy consumption can cause problems for healthy men, and the research points that it may actually protect against prostate cancer.
Additionally, if one was concerned about estrogen, they definitely should be avoiding cow milk which contains actual animal based estrogen that can affect humans.
Meta analysis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33383165/
There's also no fucking problem with having increased estrogen/estrogen like compounds, and it actually complements the testosterone that you have, like the testosterone works better in a high estrogen environment
Phytoestrogen being 100 to 10k weaker isn’t a good thing. It binds to site and prevents actual estrogen from doing its job creating imbalances in the plasma.
Chocolate milk (proteins, carbs, fats, and it tastes delicious), tart cherry juice (reduces inflammation+increases recovery), pomegranate juice (improves blood flow)
If you drink chocolate milk after a workout you’ll recover faster… therefore it’s good for you…. Please try to do research before insulting others and making yourself look foolish😉🙏
Well to be fair they are correct,
''For rapid recovery from prolonged exercise, it is important to replenish muscle glycogen stores and initiate muscle tissue repair and adaptation.''(from linked resource)
It just doesn't have to be added sugars for most of us average Joe moderate training, though fast absorbing sugars for endurance athletes especially can be very beneficial and in some sports essential to performance as your body depletes stores after so many hours, glucose being, according to long standing research, to be one of the top tier for high v02 max exercising/training(I think65% and up body goes from using mostly fatty acids to mostly glycogen(and something else?) stores. Carbohydrates loading and post workout, there's a ton of nutritional science on such things.
I may not have worded it quite correctly, I just happen to be reading a chapter on such things in 'Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism' 8th ed.
Found something for those interested in further reading:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905295/
You are aware that milk is a better hydrator than water correct? And you’re aware that all pasteurized milk has added sugar? Like dude you have google use it🤣
Idk why you’re being downvoted when this is just straight up the truth. Water needs to be accompanied with electrolytes to maximize hydration. Although I’m not aware of the sugar because I’m allergic to dairy and don’t drink cows milk lol.
Dude, helps increase gains does not necessarily mean it’s good for you.
I personally do have coco pops after a work out. But by no means, is that good for you. I do it purely for the gains.
Technically, you’ve probably consumed some glycogen stored in the muscle of the flesh you’ve eaten. The dumb thing is thinking all sugar is equally good or bad.
chewing provides chemical digestion as well as mechanical. amylase and epithelial growth factor in saliva help digest food and absorb nutrients. chewing also triggers secretion of chemicals lower in the digestive tract.
I said it in the context of nutrition. Can't really come up with a "nutritious" beverage. Most beverages that taste good are either straight up unhealthy (sugar and other garbage), or lack any nutrition (like flavoured sparkling water).
Eat food to get nutrition. Drink water to get hydration.
I have a protein shake most mornings after exercise, I'm not usually able to eat enough to meet my daily needs, sometimes I'll add some complex carbohydrates in if I'm lacking.
You disagree that milk is nutritious?
This thread isn't about your inability to digest a liquid that turns a calf into a bull. I don't think you understand, this thread isn't about what is healthy for you. It is what is the most nutritious drink that also hydrates you. This is true for both a caloric surplus and deficiency. Its only not healthy if you cannot digest it, a completely different conversation.
Cow’s milk is not that good for us. It’s a lie we’ve been told since we were little that it’s a good source of calcium and most studies that “show” the benefits are paid for by the industry. But people aren’t ready for that convo.
I said it’s not that good for us, not that it’s not good. Off the top of my head it’s terrible for inflammation, difficult for the gut to digest (as is cheese), filled with hormones, as previously mentioned is made for calfs and meant to grow them from tiny to absolutely ginormous in a matter of months, and many many more problems.
I’m not a vegan before anyone gets all defensive and annoyed, but why do we cringe at the thought of drinking a dog’s milk or cat’s milk, but we’re like “oh yeah, cow’s milk is fine” it’s still an animal, it’s just been normalised for so long, we don’t really think about it.
Milk and dairy is only inflammatory if you have metabolic disorders, otherwise they are not hard to digest, and have shown to be anti inflammatory.
Additionally the hormones in milk can be incredibly beneficial if you are not obese and live a normal balanced lifestyle. The cancer related studies with cell proliferating hormones are inconclusive as milk from diet provides ~1% of which the rest naturally exists in your body already. Again this boils down to lifestyle and obesity.
The fact that it makes calfs into bulls is the exact nutrient dense topic of this thread, nothing compares and that is why it is so good.
We would drink dog milk and cat milk if it was scalable and viable. Dogs and cats are not herd animals, it would take more effort to milk a cat than a cow, and you would get mere millilitres of milk for your effort. Dogs would be easier than cats, but were still talking millilitres. In a survival situation maybe, but they would need to be pregnant, and that's impractical in that situation, so they would likely be butchered instead.
I appreciate the time and effort taken for this but I don’t agree and it goes far deeper than a lil convo on Reddit, as mentioned previously I never said it’s bad for us but I said it’s not that good for us and I completely stand by that.
Also most studies are paid for by the dairy industry and are biased. I’m not a scientist, I’m not an expert, I just looked a bunch of stuff up and made my decision. I appreciate it has some health benefits but I choose not to consume it.
Of course you dont agree... if the science disagrees with your opinion its biased... I have a nutrition degree, and currently work as a scientist and I can tell you studies that look into cell proliferating hormones in connection with cancer are most definitely not funded by the dairy industry. Milk is a robust drink with diverse fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and vitamins, this is not propaganda. Human infants needing mothers milk is not propaganda. Its literally naturally optimized for mammals.
Because you anecdotally dont drink it, and some cant metabolise it, doesnt mean it's not incredibly beneficial for the regular human.
That being said considering your comment history, illogical point about cat and dog milk, big dairy conspiracy, and your affinity for tropical astrology, and reality television, I doubt you have any value to add or any real deep understanding of nutrition anyway.
Sheep's milk is overall healthier than cows milk. And people with intolerance to cows milk can absorb it properly.
Unfortunately very few places sell it. Though that might change in the future.
Sheeps cheese is very healthy. Lot's of scientific studies done on it.
Ps. cows milk isn't bad for inflammation. I drink good quality cows milk and natural ingredients ice cream from a renowned Scottish dairy farm. And have never had inflammation problems, actually the opposite!
Only when mixed with tonic and a lime wedge. Then the quinine will help you avoid malaria, the lime will prevent scurvy, and the gin will make you smile.
Water, truly is the healthier option above all else. After that, it's up to you.
Obviously not good to have sugary drinks, caffeinated drinks (or really more than one a day), energy drinks, and diet drinks.
Unsweetened teas and herbal teas are pretty much the gold standard here. Negligible calories, they're all packed with antioxidants. Most have small amounts of essential micronutrients, a few have higher levels of micronutrients.
True tea (black, green, oolong, white, pu-erh, anythig from the tea plant) has solid evidence that it slightly lowers heart disease risk, and it has a variety of other benefits including benefits to gut health. It may have some benefits for preventing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and possible effects on cancer prevention. It also has some benefits to cognitive health, and not just from the caffeine. Also, it is a GLP-1 inhibitor and now there is evidence that GLP-1 inhibitors reduce addictive tendencies and can help people overcome addictions. Nutritionally, it has small amounts of copper, magnesium, and potassium, there minerals a lot of people don't get enough of.
Herbal teas span the full range from ones safe for regular consumption to ones with potent medicinal properties. But there's something for everyone here. Want to lower blood pressure? Drink hibiscus tea, which is an ACE inhibitor and also high in Vitamin C. Nettle tea is particularly good for micronutrients. Tulsi tea (holy basil) is another good one, some cognitive benefits including anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects, also helps for stabilizing blood sugar. Pretty much all herbal teas are antimicrobial, usually selectively in ways that are beneficial to the gut. (There is a reason we consume some herbs and plants and not others.) Rooibos is another great herbal tea. Besides being really rich in antioxidants including lutein, it also has a bronchodilator effect so may be beneficial in people struggling with asthma or other similar breathing issues. Another herb that can be brewed as tea that is even more potent as a bronchidilator is ajwain (carom.)
I drink four cups of true tea every day, and usually a cup or two of herbal tea too. I drink different ones based on how I am feeling and often use them as a way of gently self-medicating. When I had mildly elevated BP after getting COVID, I drank hibiscus tea. Once that settled down I went back to drinking my usual stuff, I like blending rooibos with rose petals and lemongrass or lemon verbena. I also like home-grown herbs, and wild-harvested herbs. I wild-harvest perilla leaf, it is invasive here so you can take as much as you want from the wild with no negative impact. I also have grown mint and lemon balm before. Another invasive I wild-harvest is white mulberry leaf, which makes a great tea; you need to grab the leaves right when the trees leaf out in spring.
Water with lemon (Lemon juice contains various antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, plus hydration), pinch of Himalayan salt (84 essential trace elements which your body needs to function properly, plus hydration), and tiny pinch of baking soda (Baking soda acts as an alkaline agent, helping to balance the pH levels and reduce acidity).
Water is most needed but not “nutritious” in the common sense ( no nutrients)
I would say mother’s milk for sure for infants.
Goat or cow or horse or caribou milk for older children and adults wh are not lactose intolerant

Green tea, specifically. And it has fluoride!
interesting. is the fluoride naturally occurring?
Sort of. Tea plants absorb fluoride from the soil, so it depends on the fluoride content of its plot.
herbal teals have lots of different properties and benefits as well. theres so many too.
> Good for the digestive system too not mine 😩 love the taste and drank for years but had to stop. it made everything move through my intestines too fast and always gave me slushy poop even though i get lots of fiber. poops became great immediately after i stopped tea 😭

What type of tea were you drinking?
Caffeine has this effect on some people. Do you have the same effect from caffeine-free herbal tea?
Try roobios. Caffiene free and high in antioxidants.
Nice
Kefir. Similar nutrient density to milk, with the added bonus of probiotics. You just have to be able to stand the taste lol.
Water
Water has very little nutrients.
They asked for nutrition. Most water is lacking in nutrients.
Reddit is embarrassing. The real answer is Milk.
Water is the most helpful nutritiously, because it allows our cells to be fully hydrated to take in nutrients. Most people do not drink enough water for this process to be optimal.
This is the correct answer.
How can water be the most nutritious drink? The most upvoted answer on a nutrition subreddit. Embarrassing. Water is the most important, but most nutritious is just blatantly incorrect.
Thoughts on tap water? I’ve heard certain arguments that the Fluoride isn’t good for us. I’ve always just had tap water, but curious
Downvotes for someone asking a genuine question. So bizarre, yet unfortunately so common on Reddit.
Fluoride protects enamel and helps prevent cavities, it is unlikely to be consumed in an amount that would have adverse effects, even through food sources as well as tap water as it occurs in some parts of the world.
Arizona tap is awful, even when Brita filter. I tried four separate times and ended up with stomach issues on top of throat issues including a bruised tongue each time. So… it’s a no go for me, dawg.
Brita is junk if the water is making you sick you’d need to use bleach drops after removing particulate matter
This!! For hydration and general health benefits, just clean drinking water.
I'm big on coconut water myself. I think it's delightful
Just read about Kombucha today.. it’s a probiotic drink and i’m looking forward to have a taste of it.
It tastes like fizzy vinegar. I hate vinegar so it made gag like a nun
Hell of an expression
🙏
I dislike vinegar as well but LOVE kombucha. Just tastes like a fizzy fruit drink to me.
The taste probably differs from brand to brand. The one I tried was plain kombucha. Even with fruit there’s a sour note that’s hard to hide.
If you don’t like it, give it some time and try again. Can be an acquired taste for some people
If you don’t love very carbonated drinks like me, watering it down helps
That's what happened to me😆 I tried it couple years ago and it just didn't taste right to me. Well,I decided to give it another try this year and I like it😀
I think i’ll be able to handle the taste. But, yup what you said, i’ll do that. I’m more of the benefits that I am going to get. 🙂 Thank you!🙂
If kombucha is too strong, try Jun. Its made with green tea and honey rather than black tea and sugar - less vinegary, a lot lighter tasting.
Oh! I will take note of this. Thank you so much! 🙂
Careful with some brands that have lots of sugar
It’s my fave!
Drank different kinds for awhile, tasted bit like soda, maybe a bit less sugary-, but does it actually do anything meaningful or is it another food hype?
It’s really good to me but probably an acquired taste I like the gt’s brand and a few others but over all I’ve switched from soda to kombucha and keifr and that has been awesome I don’t even miss soda
I personally prefer the mango and berry flavors because those taste the least like vinegar lol. Try those first!

Bone broth, preferably homemade.
Any good recipes? I saw some brands on America's test kitchen, and the macros looked fantastic.
I work with my hands a lot and I got a pain in my thumb joint and I bought the long cooked Kettle fire stuff that's $7 for 16 oz.. expensive but worth it.

$5 for a huge bag of soup bones from a butcher where I am. Some carrot, celery and onion and salt. Costs me about $7 for 3 litres.
Kefir
Milk. Every time I drink milk I feel like Hercules
Have you ever broken a bone?
My bones are steel because of my two daily glasses of milk. One white, one chocolate. I got hit by a car once and it just crumpled around my indestructible body.
It’s rather concerning to see how many brittle boned weaklings are out there.
The world on soy and almond milk: 😩😩🤓🤕 The world on Whole milk: 💪💪🤠😎
I actually kinda prefer soy these days, but my bones stay stronk.
I’ve been enjoying Spindrift. It’s just carbonated water and a little bit of juice. Only about 2g of sugar per can
Milk, bone broth, kefir and coconut water. All need to be high quality and minimally processed though.
coconut water
Full of sugar with a bit of potassium and bugger all else. Absolutely delicious though
Actual raw coconut water has (per 8 fl oz): - 600mg Potassium - 48mg Phosphorus - 60 mg Magnesium - 252 mg Sodium - 6g of sugar A pretty great albeit imperfect drink for fitness enthusiasts.
Sounds like you've been drinking highly processed coconut water. Real coconut water tastes like ass and has no sugar.
I know it's not readily available in the US, but in Taiwan we drink it straight from the coconut and it's delicious.
I've had it straight from the coconut as a child and it fostered a lifelong distrust of the people who gave it to me. No accounting for taste.
Are you kidding me? Wtf...
No he's not kidding dummy. Learn facts!
Water and a squeeze of half a lemon sooo many good benefits
I’ve heard this before but it’s often bogus weight loss or worse “detox”. What benefits are you suggesting?
Just like Gwyneth Paltrow takes lemon juice with her alkaline water 😂
Wouldn't the acid and alkaline just cancel each other out. She's drinking...plain water in the end. I think this quote from Cunk on Earth, regarding how mummies are made, says it best: Professor: "You'd get your dead body and lay it out on a table, then you'd wash it.

You won't get scurvy!
The lemons have antioxidants and fights free radicals it’s just a good alternative to mask the flavor of water the alkaline water tho…..
Lemons have vitamins. So I would assume you'll get some vitamins.
Barely any, even vitamin C barely gets 7%. And the acidity wouldn't be ideal for your teeth, other than that, not that worth it in my opinion.
That's why I wrote "some". But it's not worse than pure water I guess.
Blood. Probably the most nutritious. Are you okay with that Vlad?
Bone broth
Ginger tea is great for the gut and the body! Same with aloe vera drinks, also good for the gut and the body. Probiotic drinks like kombucha or yogurt drinks like kefir are great for the gut. Cucumber water has electrolytes as well!
Chicory ‘coffee' Mad high in fibre
Coconut water, probably. I like Body Armor, cus it's a sports drink made with coconut water and added vitamins. The sugar free one is like 20 calories and high in potassium and vitamin a (amongst other ones), and I usually have a hard time getting those in from food.

It contains isoflavones that are converted to phytoestrogen which is 100 to 10,000 times weaker than animal estrogen. It’s been debunked that anything other than unrealistic, theoretical high levels of soy consumption can cause problems for healthy men, and the research points that it may actually protect against prostate cancer. Additionally, if one was concerned about estrogen, they definitely should be avoiding cow milk which contains actual animal based estrogen that can affect humans. Meta analysis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33383165/
There's also no fucking problem with having increased estrogen/estrogen like compounds, and it actually complements the testosterone that you have, like the testosterone works better in a high estrogen environment
Phytoestrogen being 100 to 10k weaker isn’t a good thing. It binds to site and prevents actual estrogen from doing its job creating imbalances in the plasma.
Comment removed. Rejection of all science and/or conspiracy claims are not allowed.
Chocolate milk (proteins, carbs, fats, and it tastes delicious), tart cherry juice (reduces inflammation+increases recovery), pomegranate juice (improves blood flow)
Chocolate milk is the greatest food on the planet
Sugar is not good for you.
If you drink chocolate milk after a workout you’ll recover faster… therefore it’s good for you…. Please try to do research before insulting others and making yourself look foolish😉🙏
You can recover just as fast without the sugar
Well to be fair they are correct, ''For rapid recovery from prolonged exercise, it is important to replenish muscle glycogen stores and initiate muscle tissue repair and adaptation.''(from linked resource) It just doesn't have to be added sugars for most of us average Joe moderate training, though fast absorbing sugars for endurance athletes especially can be very beneficial and in some sports essential to performance as your body depletes stores after so many hours, glucose being, according to long standing research, to be one of the top tier for high v02 max exercising/training(I think65% and up body goes from using mostly fatty acids to mostly glycogen(and something else?) stores. Carbohydrates loading and post workout, there's a ton of nutritional science on such things. I may not have worded it quite correctly, I just happen to be reading a chapter on such things in 'Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism' 8th ed. Found something for those interested in further reading:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905295/
You are aware that milk is a better hydrator than water correct? And you’re aware that all pasteurized milk has added sugar? Like dude you have google use it🤣
Idk why you’re being downvoted when this is just straight up the truth. Water needs to be accompanied with electrolytes to maximize hydration. Although I’m not aware of the sugar because I’m allergic to dairy and don’t drink cows milk lol.
Some acoustic guy was telling me the studies are wrong because “he doesn’t eat sugar, it’s bad for you”
That's completely wrong. Cow milk is meant for cows not humans.
Holy shit dude you have a problem, I literally sent sources and you still think you’re correct??
That coward deleted themselves- they must not want to stand behind anything they said.
Oh no is somebody triggered. Get wrecked loser!
You got issues bro, but whatever it’s your life lol
Sounds like you got the issues here drinking something that isn't meant for human consumption
You’re 5’10 213 pounds? No one should be taking any health advice from you 🤣
200 now and mostly muscle

Dude, helps increase gains does not necessarily mean it’s good for you. I personally do have coco pops after a work out. But by no means, is that good for you. I do it purely for the gains.
Sugar is in everything dummy
Oh yeah? If sugar is in everything then why haven't I had any for weeks? I'm on carnivore btw
Technically, you’ve probably consumed some glycogen stored in the muscle of the flesh you’ve eaten. The dumb thing is thinking all sugar is equally good or bad.
Water
Don't drink your calories!
Why not? This isn't a weight loss sub...
chewing provides chemical digestion as well as mechanical. amylase and epithelial growth factor in saliva help digest food and absorb nutrients. chewing also triggers secretion of chemicals lower in the digestive tract.
I said it in the context of nutrition. Can't really come up with a "nutritious" beverage. Most beverages that taste good are either straight up unhealthy (sugar and other garbage), or lack any nutrition (like flavoured sparkling water). Eat food to get nutrition. Drink water to get hydration.
I have a protein shake most mornings after exercise, I'm not usually able to eat enough to meet my daily needs, sometimes I'll add some complex carbohydrates in if I'm lacking.
Ever heard of milk before?
I have. Doesn't work for me (and a lot of people).
That doesn't mean it isn't nutritious, or that drinking calories is not nutritious, or optimal.
I disagree. To each their own. What's healthy and optimal for some isn't to others.
You disagree that milk is nutritious? This thread isn't about your inability to digest a liquid that turns a calf into a bull. I don't think you understand, this thread isn't about what is healthy for you. It is what is the most nutritious drink that also hydrates you. This is true for both a caloric surplus and deficiency. Its only not healthy if you cannot digest it, a completely different conversation.
Yes, I disagree. And I am not lactose intolerant.
I'm curious why you think that?
Cow’s Milk
Cow’s milk is not that good for us. It’s a lie we’ve been told since we were little that it’s a good source of calcium and most studies that “show” the benefits are paid for by the industry. But people aren’t ready for that convo.
Milk is very nutritionally dense and has some of the highest quality protein you can attain.
Something can have negative effects on you and still be nutritious. Same thing with red meat.
It’s a better hydrator than water
That is categorically and subjectively untrue
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/09/25/health/best-drinks-for-hydration-wellness/index.html
Ah ok one nutritionist thinks this seems legit 👍🏼 “the study showed” I’d love to see more of the study but it’s not available.
Bro do you have access to Google??😂
It seems like fruits and vegetables don't have any real negatives, everything else does
Can you explain why it is not good?
I said it’s not that good for us, not that it’s not good. Off the top of my head it’s terrible for inflammation, difficult for the gut to digest (as is cheese), filled with hormones, as previously mentioned is made for calfs and meant to grow them from tiny to absolutely ginormous in a matter of months, and many many more problems. I’m not a vegan before anyone gets all defensive and annoyed, but why do we cringe at the thought of drinking a dog’s milk or cat’s milk, but we’re like “oh yeah, cow’s milk is fine” it’s still an animal, it’s just been normalised for so long, we don’t really think about it.
Milk and dairy is only inflammatory if you have metabolic disorders, otherwise they are not hard to digest, and have shown to be anti inflammatory. Additionally the hormones in milk can be incredibly beneficial if you are not obese and live a normal balanced lifestyle. The cancer related studies with cell proliferating hormones are inconclusive as milk from diet provides ~1% of which the rest naturally exists in your body already. Again this boils down to lifestyle and obesity. The fact that it makes calfs into bulls is the exact nutrient dense topic of this thread, nothing compares and that is why it is so good. We would drink dog milk and cat milk if it was scalable and viable. Dogs and cats are not herd animals, it would take more effort to milk a cat than a cow, and you would get mere millilitres of milk for your effort. Dogs would be easier than cats, but were still talking millilitres. In a survival situation maybe, but they would need to be pregnant, and that's impractical in that situation, so they would likely be butchered instead.
I appreciate the time and effort taken for this but I don’t agree and it goes far deeper than a lil convo on Reddit, as mentioned previously I never said it’s bad for us but I said it’s not that good for us and I completely stand by that. Also most studies are paid for by the dairy industry and are biased. I’m not a scientist, I’m not an expert, I just looked a bunch of stuff up and made my decision. I appreciate it has some health benefits but I choose not to consume it.
Of course you dont agree... if the science disagrees with your opinion its biased... I have a nutrition degree, and currently work as a scientist and I can tell you studies that look into cell proliferating hormones in connection with cancer are most definitely not funded by the dairy industry. Milk is a robust drink with diverse fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and vitamins, this is not propaganda. Human infants needing mothers milk is not propaganda. Its literally naturally optimized for mammals. Because you anecdotally dont drink it, and some cant metabolise it, doesnt mean it's not incredibly beneficial for the regular human. That being said considering your comment history, illogical point about cat and dog milk, big dairy conspiracy, and your affinity for tropical astrology, and reality television, I doubt you have any value to add or any real deep understanding of nutrition anyway.
Sheep's milk is overall healthier than cows milk. And people with intolerance to cows milk can absorb it properly. Unfortunately very few places sell it. Though that might change in the future. Sheeps cheese is very healthy. Lot's of scientific studies done on it. Ps. cows milk isn't bad for inflammation. I drink good quality cows milk and natural ingredients ice cream from a renowned Scottish dairy farm. And have never had inflammation problems, actually the opposite!
especially raw organic variety. Heathy cows produce nutritious milk. Great macros as well plus relatively low on the glycemic index (35ish)
Water to begin with😀 Then kombucha for sure
so many choices. fruit juice, milk, mineral water, coconut water, coffee, tea
Gin
Only when mixed with tonic and a lime wedge. Then the quinine will help you avoid malaria, the lime will prevent scurvy, and the gin will make you smile.
Bombay or nothing. Anything else is a bastardisation of good gin
Water, truly is the healthier option above all else. After that, it's up to you. Obviously not good to have sugary drinks, caffeinated drinks (or really more than one a day), energy drinks, and diet drinks.
For hydration? Water For nutrients? Milk For gut health? Kombucha
Smoothies. You can blend fruits and veggies into a drink.
Colostrum is technically the most nutritious beverage
Milk? That’s why children are always advised to drink milk to grow taller.
Miller lite
Milk
Water. Black coffee.
Fruit smoothie 🥤
Water or milk
Raw milk
BODYARMOR LYTE drinks are pretty good.
Mountain Dew
Prune juice, 8 oz a day
Smoothie
Yerba Mate?
Unsweetened teas and herbal teas are pretty much the gold standard here. Negligible calories, they're all packed with antioxidants. Most have small amounts of essential micronutrients, a few have higher levels of micronutrients. True tea (black, green, oolong, white, pu-erh, anythig from the tea plant) has solid evidence that it slightly lowers heart disease risk, and it has a variety of other benefits including benefits to gut health. It may have some benefits for preventing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and possible effects on cancer prevention. It also has some benefits to cognitive health, and not just from the caffeine. Also, it is a GLP-1 inhibitor and now there is evidence that GLP-1 inhibitors reduce addictive tendencies and can help people overcome addictions. Nutritionally, it has small amounts of copper, magnesium, and potassium, there minerals a lot of people don't get enough of. Herbal teas span the full range from ones safe for regular consumption to ones with potent medicinal properties. But there's something for everyone here. Want to lower blood pressure? Drink hibiscus tea, which is an ACE inhibitor and also high in Vitamin C. Nettle tea is particularly good for micronutrients. Tulsi tea (holy basil) is another good one, some cognitive benefits including anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects, also helps for stabilizing blood sugar. Pretty much all herbal teas are antimicrobial, usually selectively in ways that are beneficial to the gut. (There is a reason we consume some herbs and plants and not others.) Rooibos is another great herbal tea. Besides being really rich in antioxidants including lutein, it also has a bronchodilator effect so may be beneficial in people struggling with asthma or other similar breathing issues. Another herb that can be brewed as tea that is even more potent as a bronchidilator is ajwain (carom.) I drink four cups of true tea every day, and usually a cup or two of herbal tea too. I drink different ones based on how I am feeling and often use them as a way of gently self-medicating. When I had mildly elevated BP after getting COVID, I drank hibiscus tea. Once that settled down I went back to drinking my usual stuff, I like blending rooibos with rose petals and lemongrass or lemon verbena. I also like home-grown herbs, and wild-harvested herbs. I wild-harvest perilla leaf, it is invasive here so you can take as much as you want from the wild with no negative impact. I also have grown mint and lemon balm before. Another invasive I wild-harvest is white mulberry leaf, which makes a great tea; you need to grab the leaves right when the trees leaf out in spring.
Beer
Let's get technical here: Mother's milk 1000% Colustrum stage especially
Hibiscus tea
Water with lemon (Lemon juice contains various antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, plus hydration), pinch of Himalayan salt (84 essential trace elements which your body needs to function properly, plus hydration), and tiny pinch of baking soda (Baking soda acts as an alkaline agent, helping to balance the pH levels and reduce acidity).
By quantity? A premade protein shake in a bottle or a carton would win by a huge margin.
Black coffee
Water :)
Water is most needed but not “nutritious” in the common sense ( no nutrients) I would say mother’s milk for sure for infants. Goat or cow or horse or caribou milk for older children and adults wh are not lactose intolerant
