SPRITE SPEAKS: Sprite has rolled out a new soda that they say is intended for the "young, active and health conscious crowd". It is sweetened with Truvia (derived from Stevia) and claims that it has 50% less calories than soda.CUSTOMER SPEAKS: I read a review and a "dieter" put that she is happy that Sprite came out with this, but that she wishes that they come out with one that is 0 calories.
JOY SPEAKS: Sodas make you FAT, diet sodas make you FAT, sweetened drinks of ALL kinds make you FAT!!! How? Scientists at the Monell Research Center found that as soon as the tounge tastes something sweet, the body converts glucose in the blood into storage fat, causing the blood sugar to drop. You then will get cravings for refined foods/snacks. This viscous cycle repeats and many studies have shown a strong correlation between these drinks and storing fat (especially in the belly) and people still sip on this crap all day. Studies even show that 1 drink a day will increase your chances of health problems and weight gain by 40% . The bottom line is that if you are the "young, active and health conscious crowd" that Sprite is seeking, do yourself and health a favor and drink water!

why do they try to lie to us all the time?? Soda is soda is soda bad bad bad!!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's like when anyone lies. You can't keep them from lying, but you can keep yourself from listening.
ReplyDeleteWhat about drinks like Crystal Light??
ReplyDeleteIt is best to x out Crystal light for similiar reasons as the Sprite green. I may dedicate a post specifically to CL since it has become increasingly popular with the "health conscious".
