These are just indirect markers. It is now known that only LDL with
PUFAs in it can lead to atherosclerosis, so if you know what to do to
avoid this situation, you don't need to fear indirect markers. That
said, I only drink unsweetened, organic white tea or filtered water.
On very rare occasions I drink unsweetened fruit juice (usually
pineapple or orange). The problem with most soft drinks is that they
are just excess calories, often consumed in between meals, and some
contain phosphoric acid, which should be avoided. You don't want to
keep raising your insulin every hour or so - you just want an insulin
spike three times a day, with each meal. I expect the problem with most soft drinks ;for those people who are at the most serious risk; those with insulin resistance ;is in fact more related to the insulin levels caused by soft drinks and other foods. The effect of calories is not as important. Thanks Vince
