Which Soft Drink is 'Best'?
Hey guys,
SOmetimes if I'm out at a party or whatever and there's only soft drink, I'll drink it since it's not every day. But what is the 'best' soft drink? As in the least unhealthiest? Would it be the one with the least sugar?..

I would say the one with the least calories? I don't drink pop just water.

You have to decide whether you want the least calorific value drink or the least in additives. Full sugar seems wiser at times, if you're only having a few 2-3.

Make sure it has actual sugar and not Splenda or some other fake sugar. They're actually worse for you.

That's the problem, the ones without sugar have aspartame, which is actually worse...but again, considering we don't drink that crap regularly, I go for Sprite Zero, no sugar, no caffeine, no artificial colors.

Here's the secret...
Take a pack of Coolaid *the stuff that costs like 25 cents..*... your 10lb bucket of dextrose... and a juice pitcher Scoop dextrose in the juice until desired sweetness.... Pros: dextrose  Pros: Coolaid Pros: Coolaid Cons: Calories

But seriously...stay away from Coke as they are still one of those companies that have "secret ingredients" they struck this deal with the Fda when they made the company remove the cocaine from there soft drink back 50 years ago. A clear soft drink is said to not contain caffeine which is good cause you dont want to overdo caffeine. I would agree with most of the posters on this thread , stay away from soft drinks if you can , and if you cant bring an alternative like water or juice then drink the 7up / ginger ale , or Sprite.

As someone who used to drink almost a case of soft drinks a day I know it can be a mental challenge to give up soft drink, but its well worth it. Switching to mainly water is healthy and you start getting back to a realistic sense of sweetness. All the artificial sweeteners or worse all the corn sweeteners used in soft drinks are so sweet they make natural sweetness seem like never enough. For me now that I mainly drink water fruit and other sweet things taste sweeter.
Also people around you become used to you being a water drinker pretty fast once they realize your serious about taking care of yourself.
