When was the last time you drank soda, juice, or other forms of sugary drinks?

For most Americans, it is a normal part of everyday life.

The problem? These drinks are incredibly unhealthy, more so than some companies would lead consumers to believe, according to Xavier Morales, executive director of The Praxis Project, and Jim Krieger, executive director of Healthy Food America.
