Hi, I havent drank pop for a year because of the high sugar content. I have nestea iced tea occasionally, but I think it has just as much sugar as pop. Is it just as bad for you?

Try brewing your own and sweetening with an artificial sweetener.

It could be [almost] if it is sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup. The fact that you haven't had a soda in a year probably makes you one of the healthiest people in america! Try making your own tea and sweetening it with honey. It takes a little getting used to but try Green Tea. Be careful not to overbrew it and you may find it is very refreshing cold. It's really good for you

Sweetened iced tea that comes in a bottle is usually sweetened with the exact same thing as soda pop, high fructose corn syrup. I assume the amount used is also the same, but I don't know for sure. Also, tea can stain your teeth and contains chemicals that can combine with calcium in your body (from eating dairy products..etc) to form kidney stones. If you are really worried about drinking something that's good for you, switch to water!

Iced tea is actually better for you. Just go with unsweetened. Try green tea. They say that's the best. Sugar itself is bad. But if you have to drink sweet tea, that is better than pop

Any drink with sugar is bad for you. Then again, with science and all the research, everything is bad for you. Have whatever you like, but in moderation. You only live once! Next week there will be a study that says combing your hair too much is bad for you!!!

Too much sugar is bad, but you should limit your tea intake as well

no it's the same as pop and I only drink diet soda and once in a while I'll buy a bottle of sweet tea or a Starbucks drink in a bottle.

just look on the label : )
if you make your own tea it is way better cause of the sugar you can add yourself : )

pop is worse because of the carbonation I cant remember all the details but I did a project on it in science class once.
