Soft Drinks
The problem with soft drinks or sodas isn’t just their sugar content. It’s also the fact that these non-nutritional drinks are very addictive. It’s bad enough that they’re chock-full of high fructose corn syrup, other added sugars and food coloring, but they’re also going to leave you wanting more. One can of 12-ounce cola (without caffeine) contains nearly 39 grams of sugar. The American Heart Association recommends that men consume 37.5 grams of sugar per day, while women should consume 25 grams. The one can of cola surpasses that. It’s best to just stay away from them altogether.
