Question by Sam: Which Is The Healthiest…?
just out of curiosity, i’d like to see how these drinks compare. so, if you could put them in order from most to least healthy [or at least as close as you can get], and possibly an explanation of why, that’d be great.
ten points to best answer.
drinks:
mountain dew
pepsi
sprite
fanta
vault
monster
powerade
capri sun
thanks. [:
i rarely drink any of them, actually. maybe the occasional fanta or vault. water is by far the best tasting drink out there. [:

if your gonna drink one constantly, i would say powerade. Its sugary, but has electrolytes in it and sometimes vitamins.
the other are just full of preservatives and sugar or caffeine.
keep all of them to a minimum and drink lots of water.

the healthiest is water but mountain dew is good too because all of other are syntetic and they have some chimical material and gas that they are not good for body and health of body.
None of these drinks are really healthy. They are all crap, except for the powerade. But again, most people even misuse powerade. These types of drinks (powerades/gatorades) should only be used in extreme conditions such as heat, profuse sweating or for performance athletes.
So if I had to rank them (less crap to more crap):
1. Powerade
2. capri sun – mostly garbage, but at least some fruit juice
3. sodas (mt dew, pepsi, sprite, fanta) – one is not really better or worse than the other. MT Dew does carry more caffiene, but this all depends on your tolerance. It’s still less than a cup of coffee. None of these carry any nutritional value.
4. Energy drinks (vault, monster, etc): these are over-used, especially by kids. Energy should come from a good exercise routine and sound nutrition, not a quick fix from a can. These types of drinks can reek havick on your central nervous system and heart. Stay away from them.
