> Absolutely no soft drinks at all.

I don’t get this - what do you drink then? You can’t literally mean you only drink alcoholic drinks? Is water not a soft drink? Surely you drink water?

Soft drinks generally refers to sugary soda drinks like coca-cola. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_drink

Soft Drink: A soft drink is a drink that usually contains carbonated water, a sweetener, and a natural or artificial flavoring.

Water is water. Juice is juice. Soft drinks are fucking diabetes in a can.

Actually, so is juice - the amount of sugar is pretty much the same in both, and the amount of vitamins in juice is not that big, certainly does not outweight the damage done by sugar.

The secret is to eat fruits whole - this gives you a lot of vitamins that are contained in the solid parts (those which are thrown away when squeezing juice), and a lot of fiber which makes you feels satiated much faster, before you take in too much sugar.

Fair point. It's not as crazy bad, but in some cases pretty close. I try to avoid drinking any sugars.

Carrot juice is IMO very tasty and just have a third of the sugars orange juice have. Also has quite a lot of antioxidants.

Orange juice has about the same amount of sugars as cola

Likely they're referring to soda.
