OK I know I should drink water not soda. Which I do 99.9999% of the time but sometime im out to dinner and I have a diet coke instead. Now I know there are no calories or carbs in it, but are there not so obvious ingredents in it that are bad for you. I.E.. high fructose cornsyrup

You also have to look out for the sodium levels in soda.

stick to a J2O...(pure juice) for those that dont know...

I say water as first choice, green tea (iced) as second choice. If a soda you must have, use Fresca. 1 can has 0 carbs, fats, protein, etc. & only 35mg of sodium. I hate diet sodas - they leave me feeling more thirsty than I was before I drank them (sodium sacharine). With Fresca, however, it tastes like I'm having a treat - even though there is no cheating involved.

As for juices - Unless you have a citrus tree in the back yard (I have orange, lemon & grapefruit (white, but still sweet)) you are mostly going to get sugar. And it's going to be processed to death. Instead of juice, I think the general consensus is to eat the whole fruit so that you get the fiber as well as the natural sugars.
