A Coke with peanuts in it was a health drink to me when I was a pup......can't even begin to count how many I drank growing up.

Is that energy drink called Red Bull a health drink?

I remember when orange juice was pushed. Now, it is considered almost poison due to all its sugar. I don't drink too much myself anymore, but if I am out for breakfast with eggs, it is a must! Still eat oranges and other fruits however - the fiber dilutes the sugar effect sufficiently. Smoothies would be ok too.

Especially the relatively short time it contained cocaine. Wonder if any kids got it then?

Well, now they want to ruin smoothies! "You should be chewing your food, not drinking it."

Ovaltine was considered a health drink. The magnesium was supposed to put kids to sleep at night.

What is the logic for eating the fruit not drinking it? Weird.

Something about the fiber.
Doctors recommended that my mother drink Boost which is a dietary supplement. She lived to 88 so it didn't hurt and might have helped. All I drink is water and milk with meals, and coffee and tea which is water again. There is orange juice in the AM and apple cider in the fall too.
