Don't Touch That Soda!

Hey all you soda jerks out there!  Check out the stats on this one:

Sunkist  Soda(1 bottle, 20 fl oz)
320 calories
0 g fat
84 g sugars
Sugar Equivalent: 6 Breyers Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches

Sodas all earn 100 percent of their calories from sugar, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still varying levels of atrocity. Despite the perception of healthfulness, fruity sodas tend to carry more sugar than their cola counterparts, and none make that more apparent than Sunkist. What makes the orange soda 'top gun' on the list of worsts is its additional ingredients of the artificial colors yellow 6 and red 40—two chemicals that may be linked to behavioral and concentration problems in children.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  If you must have orange soda, drink these instead:
Izze Sparkling Clementine (1 bottle, 12 fl oz)
120 calories
0 g fat
27 g sugars

And, if you're not too lazy, just add a few tablespoons of naturally squeezed orange juice to a glass of seltzer...that's your best tip of the day!!
