Question

Which is less healthy for you to get at a fast food restaurant: sweetened iced tea or a soft drink?

Answer 1

soft drink

has about twice as much sugar plus artificial flavours and colours

and iced tea has healthy natural substances in it, like theophyline which is an anti-oxidant contributing to prevent cancer and heart disease,  plus other polyphenols, natural plant chemicals which are healthy, and it helps improve your metabolism so you can be at relatively less risk of developing diabetes

Answer 2

Soft drink. At least tea has some health benefits.

Answer 3

generally the soft drink (non-diet) is worst, but it depends on how much the tea was sweetened when it was prepared, or how many packs of sugar you stuff in it.

Answer 4

Soft drink
