The Soft Drinks Thread

[W3H5]

Me and my mom have been drinking this for almost 2 months now. Trying to limit sugar. My doctor got all over me back in December when she found out I was eating a bunch of sweets and sugar.

I find the taste of sugar free pop to be a bit yuck.

I’m sure the sweetness and things they use to replace the sugar are just as unhealthy. Better off with water.

You may want to reevaluate swapping Sugar for sweeteners especially Aspartame

As your mum is going through cancer treatment your family and yourself maybe more susceptible to Aspartame and its potential side effects.

Natural Sugars (fruit with pulp if you’re drinking it & just fruit and vegetables as these have the fibre to help slow release of sugars) and other non-refined sugars (Honey, Maple Syrup or Panela also know as Gudd, Gur, Jaggery) are better.

When you’re eating piles of Pasta that’s huge amounts of carbs which is broken down into… yep you guessed it, sugar.

If you eat healthier and stop the high carb and sugar intakes which you seem to keen on, your body will thank you.
