all this talk of how the aforementioned drink is bad for you, what about the Raspberry ice tea? same thing? i usually drink that over soda, but i started to wonder if its any healthier than soda...
well is it??????

 

its still empty calories. the only thing that makes pop worse is the carbonation.

 

Iced tea has caffeine in it which is a diuretic, it makes you dehydrated.

The reason carbonated drinks are worse for you is that the CO2 interacts with the water and forms carbonic acid, which can eat away at the enamel of your teeth.

 

that and the strong majority of sodas have a phosphorous base, which wreaks havoc on your metabolism and causes your body to store fat more readily.

 

I think that the SOBE drinks and stuff like that are pointless for things other then tasting good. Sure they have good stuff in it, but not nearly enough to make a difference.

So I guess the best drinks would be juices and water, milk too. But damn... even most of the juices out there aren't the best for you

 

the best juice to drink is nantucket nectars. instead of high fructose corn syrup (which is the type of sugar used in snapple and soda, also the worst sugar for your body), it uses cane sugar. its almost completely all juice, with all the vitamins and minerals, etc.


not to mention its tasty i'd pick an NN orange mango over snapple anyday :thumbup:

 

I heard of those... never seen them though

 

Lipton's Ice Tea sweeten no lemon ownZz me,..i dont care if its bad for me or not h:

 

everything is bad for you, so just eat and drink what you want and be happy till you die.

 

I feel better when I eat healthy
