4. Soda
Soda is one of the easiest ways to consume a high amount of sugar without even realizing it. For instance, a 16-ounce soda has approximately 13 teaspoons of sugar, which is more than double the recommended intake in a day.
Don’t be tempted to fall into the trap and believe that diet soda is somehow healthier. Regardless of using white sugar or not, these are full of artificial flavors to make the beverages taste better.
According to studies, artificial sweeteners can be 200 to 600 times as sweet as normal sugar. This way, your taste buds would be hyper-stimulated, which can change your taste preferences in the long run.

You missed it when you did not point out that 99.999% of sports drinks are loaded with sugar, which make them the first thing one should avoid. Next time don’t be afraid to offend the sports drink industry
I think this is a lot hype. Fruits and vegetables are essential for proper nutrition. I will agree, sugar in excess is to be avoided.
Organic Treo. That has been the best drink for me. Tried others for many, many, years. Strawberry flavor. Also, take a nitric oxide pill before a long workout and run. And of course water. For breakfast I eat a banana and peanut butter with a little bit of jelly(apricot or peach) with water. Been doing the peanut butter and banana for over twenty five years. Also drink a few sips of a Carnation Instant Beakfast mixed with non fat milk.
