i'm a little confused. i know that soda isn't good for you, but what's so bad about diet soda? is it because of all of the chemicals in it? so if i were to drink a 'fruit' juice tropicana peach papaya or something, that's around 250 calories in a bottle. i basically consider that sugar water since there's not too much real fruit juice in it, and out of the ingredients the first few are sugar. so, what i'm asking- which is worse to drink .. the artificial fruit juice, or diet soda. i know that it's okay to drink them both every one in awhile, but i'm asking what's just plain old WORSE for you.
The reason diet drinks are so bad for you are because of all the carbohydrates in them. Not all that great for your health. Sure they have zero calories, but that doesn't make them healthy, just less fattening.
Now, that juice probably isn't all that much juice. Juice is better for you and is more healthy. If it is 100% fruit juice, not that fancy crap you are talking about.
Now, Whats worse for you? I'd say its about the same. With the "juice" you are getting over-sugared. With the soda you are getting way to much caffeine and carbohydrates. Don't get me wrong if you have 100% juice over there and the first few ingredients are juice and/or juice related, the yes, it is better than soda.
