Is Fuze Healthy Infuzions good to drink instead of Pepsi?!
Question: Is Fuze Healthy Infuzions good to drink instead of Pepsi!?
A few days ago, I cut out almost all junk food and Pepsi!. I want to be healthy and lose about 40 pounds [this is a change I am making for life, not just to lose the weight]!. I used to drink 4-6 Pepsi's a day and I am trying to find something I like to drink that will be good for me!. I have also been drinking between 60- 85 ounces of water a day [ I was not drinking any water before]!. Is Fuze Healthy Infuzions good to drink instead of Pepsi!? What are the pros and cons!? Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I definitely an understand your craving for Pepsi!. I absolutely crave Coca Cola pretty much 24/7!.!.!. :)
I think you already know that Pepsi is very bad because it contains a rather nasty man made sugar called "high fructose corn syrup"!. Basically HFCS was created because fructose was not sweet enough, and did not store well!. Unfortunately, HFCS has been implicated in everything from diabetes, metabolic rate syndrome, cancer!.!.!. You name it!.!.!. Nasty stuff!!
As far as your Fuze Healthy Infuzions, I checked this out, and it does not contain HFCS, but it does contain fructose!. If you are dieting, you will want to limit your intake of fructose, and research tells us that it promotes the body to obtain fat!. In fact, in one study, they fed two groups of mice the same number of calories of glucose and the other fructose, and the fructose group had 300% more body fat at the end of the study!. On the Pro side, however, it certainly is better than Pepsi by a long shot!.!.!.
I think I should note, however, that this discussion only applies to the US!. If you are in europe, they have already wisely banned the use of HFCS in soft drinks!. If this is the case, then both Pepsi and Fuze Healthy Infuzions would have about the same nutritional profile!. Yes, the Fuze would have a few more vitamins/minerals, but you can always get these in a multivitamin!.!. :)
As far as what to drink!.!.!.!. Well, I know you dont want to hear this (just as I dont either), but water is best during dieting!. Once you get done dieting, however, you can always go back and get your a pepsi once in a while!.!.!. That is what I do!.!.!. :)
Good Luck and I Hope this helps!.!.!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
