Stay away from sugary drinks!

A very cool new study at Harvard had teens divided into two groups, one getting home deliveries of NON-calorie drinks (waters, artifically sweetened drinks) and promising not to buy any other drinks; and the other group being allowed to continue as they usually do. At the end of the study, the no-sugar drinks group had LOST weight overall while the still-drinking-sugared drinks group had gained some weight!! What does this tell us???? Stay away from drinks sweetened with sugar (soda, iced-tea, lemonade and all the rest). The sugar contains empty calories that cause weight gain! It's better not to use aspertame, but some of the other artificial sweeteners are healthier (ask your doctor), but definitely drink tons of water, seltzer and flavored water!! Your body will thank you for it!!
Stay healthy, be happy
