Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / February 2005Soda or juice?
I was thinking about cutting back on the soda I drank and drinking more fruit juices because soda has too much sugar, but doesn't fruit juice contain a lot of sugar too? Which one has more sugar? Yeah, both contain a lot of sugar. Just drink water and eat whole foods. > I was thinking about cutting back on the soda I drank and drinking > more fruit juices because soda has too much sugar, but doesn't fruit > juice contain a lot of sugar too? Which one has more sugar? However, if you had to choose between the two, at least some fruit juices aren't empty calories in the sense that there is often some important vitamins found in the fruit juices (e.g., Vitamin C) and you'll almost never find any vitamins in traditional soda pop, although I think maybe that's changing. Still, though, what's best is whole foods.

I definitely recommend whole foods rather than juices. Personally, I drink water with caffience and nutrasweet (aka diet soda). If I drank juice or regular soda, I would be two or three sizes bigger.

Which one has more sugar? this depends on the kind of soda and the kind of fruit juice- both can have a quite high ammount- usually soda has more sugar and of course a lot less vitamins though.. Well let's say Pepsi. By the way is soda bad for you? Aside from the sugar. >>I was thinking about cutting back on the soda I drank and drinking >> more fruit juices because soda has too much sugar, but doesn't fruit [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >a quite high ammount- >usually soda has more sugar and of course a lot less vitamins though.. Yes! They carbonate it with phosphorus compounds that will throw your mineral balances way out of wack. > Well let's say Pepsi. By the way is soda bad for you? Aside from the > sugar.
