Pretty bad commercial. Sure, some people can call it "cute" or whatever. But it doesn't even saying anything except for "drink water, not soda". Yes, it's true that people should definitely drink water instead of soda, but who are they trying to convince. A commercial that's actually trying to achieve something would have at the very least said WHY people should drink less soda. Given some incentive. It wasn't even motivational.

drink fruit juice, i haven't touched soda for a long time, acne is basically gone, and i feel better, like i actually want to get up in the morning.

Natural fruit juice is indeed also a better option than soda. But it's best not to have too much of it either because of the high sugar content.

The only thing I drink other than water (very rarely) is green tea. Though I still take the green tea extract every day.

Fructose(fruit sugar) is much healthier than sucrose(''normal'' sugar), fructose takes much longer to get absorbed by our body, so it will NOT cause high sugar spikes, sucrose will be absorbed MUCH quicker, and give those high blood sugar spikes that cause issues.
There are less calories in the same amount of fructose, than there is in sucrose.
Fructose is the best choice for when you're exercising, or wanting to cut down on calories.


basically, fructose = win

Oh I'm not saying that fructose isn't healthier than sucrose at all. Simply that too high an intake of any sugar, even fructose, should be avoided.

"Because leptin production is regulated by insulin responses to meals, fructose consumption also reduces circulating leptin concentrations. The combined effects of lowered circulating leptin and insulin in individuals who consume diets that are high in dietary fructose could therefore increase the likelihood of weight gain and its associated metabolic sequelae."

Fructose, weight gain, and the insulin resistance syndrome -- Elliott et al. 76 (5): 911 -- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

And technically, table sugar is half fructose half glucose. So go figure.

...Eating too much fructose can induce leptin resistance, a condition that can easily lead to becoming overweight when combined with a high-fat, high-calorie diet, according to a new study with rats.

Yeah, the fructose is definitely the issue there...
As long as you have plenty of exercise, you should do fine, even walking 30-60 minutes is enough...

My point was that sugar is sugar, and can cause many things you don't want (i.e. gain weight, metabolic syndrome, etc.).

Edit:

Something I forgot to mention for good measure is the fact that Atkin's diet users have high-fat high-calorie meal plans, yet don't get the insulin resistance (in fact some studies show that insulin resistance is improved), weight gain (in fact they lose weight most of the time), etc.

Ditto.

I don't see how that applies to a simple statement. Unless you're agreeing with me?

What you were saying was basically what I was trying to say. But writing on a PSP is a bit bothersome.

eliminate soda products

If only it were that easy... I mean I already dont drink sode but I know so many people who drink way to much of it and when I ask them Why they say its because they just like it..

Hi,

I am Alexandera, in my point of view hard drinks is harmful for our body for our health . If you want to drink so take soft drinks or fruit flavour.


Thanks !
