You're kidding? Dr (Ph.D not MD) Clark is an out and out fraud.

One of her wacky claims:
All cancers are alike. They are all caused by a parasite. A single parasite! It is the human intestinal fluke. And if you kill this parasite, the cancer stops immediately. The tissue becomes normal again. In order to get cancer, you must have this parasite. . . .
This parasite typically lives in the intestine where it might do little harm, causing only colitis, Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrome, or perhaps nothing at all. But if it invades a different organ, like the uterus, kidneys or liver, it does a great deal of harm. If it establishes itself in the liver, it causes cancer! It only establishes itself in the liver of some people. These people have propyl alcohol in their body. All cancer patients (100%) have both propyl alcohol and the intestinal fluke in their livers. The solvent propyl alcohol is responsible for letting the fluke establish itself in the liver. In order to get cancer, you must have both the parasite and propyl alcohol in your body [5:1-2].
I hope you don't own a syncrometer or one of her zappers.
Oh my bad...
I am going to lunch and pack on about 3-4 pounds...
I believe that's "okra".
BTW, where's the chicken fried steak with white pepper gravy?
Sugar goes in first, then the tea bags; boiling water is last. And it sounds a little weak if the bags just stay in for 5 minutes. It also helps if you use about 3 one quart teabags to make a half gallon of tea.
You are correct, this article notwithstanding.
Sweet tea is from East of the Sabine. It did spill over into East Texas, but it is less common in Central Texas, and almost always is an option, unlike the deep south where if you ask for unsweetened tea they'll give you the dog-heard-a high-pitched-sound look.
I’m inclined to agree. I was raised in the Texas panhandle and called Dallas home for years. Tea at restuarants was always served sugarless, and waiters never asked if you wanted sweet tea.
Here in Florida, they do, and it’s too sweet for me. I order unsweetened, then sweeten it.
As to lemon slices, I stopped for lunch at a Coco’s restuarant in Green River, California and had iced tea with my meal. I squeezed (squoze?) my lemon slice into the tea and drank.
The waiter saw me and said he’d never seen anyone squeeze the juice out of the lemon wedge before. I asked how he got the flavor into the tea otherwise. He said he just put in lots of wedges. LOL

I was born and raised in West Texas and for much of my life we drank unsweetened tea. But when I was contracting in Central MS a few years ago I ordered unsweet tea...only to find that what they meant was “not as sweet” tea. hahahahaha. Drinking sweet tea in MS reminds me of Sunday dinner (lunch) at my grandmother’s house....man o man that was good.
That's your problem. Try making your sweet tea with Luzianne.
I’ve always had to specify whether I wanted sweet or unsweetened, or they leave it unsweetened but have packets on the table, I’m in North Texas/DFW.
gravy on hushpuppies!
I've seen more places offering "sweet tea" that is really flavored tea (like rasberry).
Ordering tea can be tricky depending on where you are. Best to bring some home brew, when you can.
You forgot the roasted corn grits!!
Chocolate chess, please.
LOL Gravy improves everything.
Maybe I’ll try Darjeeling - sounds fancy. I’ve always used Luzianne
Back in the 1970’s, while living in Chapel Hill, NC, we used to debate the exact location of the “sweet tea line,” above which the default in a restaurant was unsweetened tea and below which it was sweet tea. I recall we finally decided that the line was approximately coincident with I-40/85 as it ran east-west between Winston-Salem and Durham.
you do not boil the water it makes the tea cloudy looking use the water just before it boils,and it tastes much better.
I think his point is that Southerners don’t like sweet corn bread. My grandmother never used sugar in cornbread, my mother used a mix that was a little sweet. I will eat it almost anyway it is served. I LOVE cornbread. My husband is from TX and he likes it with real corn, cheese and peppers in it.
I do not eat sugar on grits though, heresy. lol
