is tea bad for u? im trying rip my 6 pack cause theyre barely visible so im trying to drink and eat right. also, i know that all sodas r bad but how bad is sprite cause its like the healthiest of them all.

Sorry, Sprite is not the "healthiest of them all." No sodas, diet or regular, are healthy - you should do your best to replace them all w/ water.

Tea is okay, green tea is best. It's natural (as long as it comes from the bag, not powder like Lipton - usually full of sugar and added stuff) and practically zero calories.

I find it difficult to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day...so I drink tea as well as water. I usually go with the herbal teas and have aquired a taste for honey lemon and apple cinnamon...

The only problem with tea is the caffeine content, which is a diuretic and would actually be counter-productive to proper hydration.

avoid the teas that are loaded with sugars. tea itself is not bad for you, but when it is so sugared up, for example Brisk iced tea, it becomes unhealthy.

whether or not sprite is the "healthiest" soda pop, i do not know, but thats like saying that a .22 caliber bullet is the most "harmless" bullet to be shot with. soda pop is evil, evil stuff..

no this is tea from a tea pod for those onene things that makes one cup of coffee or tea at a time. u have to add yur own sugar.

I drink Green Tea everyday usually a cup in the morning (Hate cofee) and one in the afternoon with lunch. Sprite is still full of sugars like any pop. Here is the data on 1 12oz can of sprite:
Calories 156
Total Fat 0 g
Cholesterol - 0
Sodium 71 mg
Total Carbohydrates 39 g
Protein 0 g
Potassium 0 mg

Not much of anything but 39 grams of carbs and there not good carbs either
