Soda specifically - is something we should be looking closer at in relation to sugar abuse. The number of kids and young adults I see quaffing giant plastic cups of fountain drinks is alarming.

Even worse when they use it to replace water.

Juice isn’t any better. You’re drinking much more fruit than you would eat normally.

yeah because it's high sugar. i think that's absolutely common knowledge by now.

I agree especially with concentrates or “juice drinks” that have less than 10% juice. All of those things are just sugar drinks.
