24. Don’t Drink Calories, Including Sugary Soda and Fruit Juices
Sugar is bad, but sugar in liquid form is even worse. Studies show that liquid sugar calories may be thesingle most fattening aspect of the modern diet.
For example, one study showed that sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to a 60% increased risk of obesity in children, for each daily serving.
Keep in mind that this applies to fruit juice as well, which contains a similar amount of sugar as a soft drink like coke. Eat whole fruit, but use fruit juice with caution (or avoid it altogether).
