I hate the talk about soda. It's a flavored carbonated drink and carbonation isn't killing people. When schools banned sodas from vending machines, they replaced them with yoohoo and other drinks that had as much or more sugar than the carbonated drinks they removed. -stepping off my soapbox-

Fruit juice is notorious for this.

'but its fruit juice! Its 100% natural!'

Most still have added sugars on top of the fact that most of the fruit has been squeezed out only leaving... Sugars.

Even on their own, the natural fruit sugars aren't enough to make drinking fruit juice "healthy" when all the fiber has been squeezed out.

But the one two punch of sugars is just as bad as any other sugary drink.

Same with cans of Arizona or Snapple or anything else. It's all terrible.

People don't realize that ultra processed food is basically everything they eat and drink. There are very few things that aren't, and they're mostly whole food adjacent.

If it's not straight up water and plain vegetables, fruit, and grain equivalents, it's more than likely ultra processed no matter how healthy it claims to be.

So much of non-genetic cancers comes from what we ingest willingly. A large portion of it would stop if everyone ate a well rounded whole foods diet. But shit is expensive, takes time and kwh to make, and people are busy trying to enjoy life.

Conventional Cereal? Terrible. https://www.livestrong.com/article/13774827-is-eating-cereal-every-day-bad/

Certain processed fiber gives you liver cancer Ffs lol.

The problem isn’t carbonation (Bubly, Liquid Death have 0g). The problem is carbonated sugary drinks typically have more sugar than other sugary drinks, not a rule but per amount sold.

The typical soda has 38g of sugar per 12oz (can). Google states the following: Coca-Cola is 45g. Mountain Dew is 46g. Redbull and Monster are 34g. Arizona Sweet Tea is 31g. Apple juice is 33g. Orange juice is 28g. Cranberry juice is 42g.

Anything over 28g is no go territory for me. Anything under is generally not an issue blood sugar wise for me. Note: I am not diabetic.
