Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Assorted Fruit Sodas
Metabolic Effect: It has a high glycemic index and quickly raises blood sugar, which can cause a sudden energy boost followed by a rapid drop. The sugar and additives it contains may increase the risk of insulin resistance in the long run.
Consumption Recommendation: It is best to limit the consumption of fruit soda. If it is to be consumed, consuming it with fibrous foods (e.g. nuts or whole grain snacks) can help balance blood sugar.
Things to Consider: A can of fruit soda can meet a significant portion of your daily sugar intake. Alternatives such as water, herbal teas or sugar-free lemonade should be preferred instead of such drinks.
Exercise Equivalent: You may need to walk at a light pace for about 20 minutes to burn the calories from a glass of fruit soda. More intense activities can also be preferred to burn calories.
