If you haven't got diabetes and if your not overweight, I really don't see the need for Diet/No added sugar drinks. My dietician said that active people need that amount of sugar.
In fact, Sunny Delight contains less sugars than pure orange juice and less calories as proven by the label on Tropicana. So people would rather give their kids Sunny Delight No added sugar or Tropicana Original, but not Sunny Delight Added sugar. What is the point of that? Tropicana still contains natural sugars, all sugar whether its added or natural still damage your teeth if you don't brush them in time and both still contain calories.
In those added sugar drinks, they use ordinary cane sugar and glucose, these types of sugar actually contain less calories than fruit sugar(Fructose) but both still have the same effects on teeth. Consult your dentist for further info.
