The truth in drinks.


There are a lot of things we don't actually realise until 
we actually see it for ourselves. As you can see in the picture here, there is A LOT of sugar in soft drinks.
Considering this is a better option against 'diet' drinks. What can you do, to enjoy your favourite drinks yet not poison your body with sugar overloads and damaging chemicals such as Aspartame?
The truth is, you can't. Contrary to public belief the difference between 'zero' and 'diet' drinks is.... well, there isn't one really. Both contain aspartame instead of the vast amount of sugar, demonstrated in the photograph. To check out the minimal differences in the two drinks click the link Here.

So what alternatives are there out there? For all those lemonade lovers, there's a fantastic drink out there for you! Vitamin water: Lemonade. Unlike most lemon flavoured waters and juices, this product actually tastes just like lemonade... Even without the fizz, and even better, less than half the amount of sugar! However drink these in moderation, as they are part of the vitamin water franchise, they contain high amounts of essential vitamins, which is you intake too much of, too regularly could result some nasty chronic diseases! Stick to at least one a day, if you chose this water as a beverage! Check it out here

However, keep an eye on Fructose levels, Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits, and have been believed for years that it is a better substitute to other sugars, a little bit of Fructose is good for you, however if you take in too much of it, can cause heart problems Fructose Facts.
The truth is most fruit, soft and flavoured drinks are artificial and contain an amount of dangerous sweeteners and other crap which is very bad for you! The best advice I can give to you is to drink things in moderation. If you are concerned about what you're taking in, stick to water, and cordial drinks.

What you drink can hold as many calories and have just as much of an effect on your health as foods do, and a lot of people don't realise this! So be careful about what you drink if you're health conscious!
