Well I don't drink soft drink anymore but back in the days when I used to (sigh seems so long ago..) I used to love a nice cold solo apple J ...the champagne of soft drinks... I can hear the ad now in my head.
Actually, JB, I started a strict exercise program and soft drinks were not supposed to be part of my diet (although I cheated a bit sometimes - couldn't part with the Solo). After a while, I gave it up completely (one of my "sacrifices" for Lent.) I've also read somewhere that carbonated beverages are not healthy at all. Imagine, our bodies get rid of Carbon Dioxide (we exhale it) and we put carbon back into our bodies by drinking carbonated beverages. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it makes sense to me.
Now I drink lots of water, Gatorade now and then, and I eat lots of "juicy" fruits.
