My mom has always told me that if i wanted to drink soda it had to be light. When I asked why, she simply replied that it was better than drinking dark soda. I wondered how this could be if both drinks contained a good amount of sugar. Is lighter soda a healthier option as opposed to dark soda or should people steer clear from both?
When determining which is “healthier” it comes down to the contents of light and dark soda. What sets apart dark soda from light soda are the ingredients caffeine and phosphoric acid. Caffeine and phosphoric acid are the sources of several health concerns. Caffeine can cause an increase in heart rate… phosphoric acid can be damaging and taxing on the kidneys, as reported from the University of Virginia Health System. But keep in mind there are exceptions, Root Beer and Sunkist Grape Soda both dark drinks do not contain caffeine putting them on the same level as some lighter drinks. Lighter drinks as well have their exceptions with one of the ingredients in Mountain Dew being caffeine.
Now just because some light and dark sodas do not contain caffeine doesn’t mean that there are no health risk. Both drinks do contain sweetener so the best choice would be to choose a soda that is made with natural sugars. So, when it comes down to which is healthier, it all depends on the ingredients and “how much is too much?”(Editors of the Huffington Post Healthy Living), not the color of the drink. There are several factors that should be taken into consideration when drinking soda regarding ones health. Both light and dark soda can be harmful to those who have blood sugar and kidney issues (Sundstrom). The effects of caffeine and phosphoric acid as mentioned before can lead to: damage in the kidneys, diabetes, or hyperglycemia. After reading this research on the ingredients these drinks contain, I will just take a water.

Gatorade green apple
Out of all the flavors, I've personally became "Addicted" to Green Apple. It reminds me so much of the green apple Jollyrancher's and Lifesavers as a kid. So I like to smell things before i eat or drink them for the first time. This "Green Apple"... +

So I like to smell things before i eat or drink them for the first time. This "Green Apple" caught me totally off guard, it smells like paradise... Really Really strongly like green candy apple sent. Guess what it tastes like? Yummy green apple flavor with an almost "After eating an apple" after taste. This tastes just like green apples!
I'm going to give it 9 out of 10
By far my most re-bought drink among anyone I've got to try it. Everyone I've got to try it has almost enjoyed it as much as myself.
