Iced Coffee Boost

If you want a boost from that iced coffee – skip the flavor, in a moment…

If you’re counting on that iced-coffee to pick you up a bit – skip the flavored variety. Most coffee places flavor their coffee with syrups that have sodium benzoate – and that can actually be an energy zapper. Some flavored waters and soda have it too, like Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper. For a real iced pick-me-up – you’re better off with good old plain iced coffee.
