    When dieting, juice is a common swap people make for soda when they’re craving something sweet but don’t want all the added calories. The problem is, juice is still packed with sugars, and more often than not, people will consume more than the suggested 8-ounce servings, causing more harm to their diet plan than good. A great alternative is to drink water with fruit slices in it, so you get some flavor without so many extra calories.
