New Jersey Warned About Chemicals In Almost 30 Recalled Drinks

Listen, I love a delicious bubbly drink as much as anybody. That doesn't mean, however, that I'm not aware of the potential health risks that come with drinking too much soda. Why must something so delicious be so bad for us?

Consuming too much sugar regularly can lead to serious health issues like weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease. When you drink soda, you're also getting a lot of empty calories, which means you're not getting nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. It may be hard to believe, but one bottle of soda can have about 40 grams of sugar or more. The American Heart Association recommends that it's safest to limit our added sugar intake to about 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day. So, just one bottle of soda can exceed that easily.

It's safe to say that most sodas contain artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. For instance, many have a chemical called aspartame, which is an artificial sweetener. There are concerns about its long-term health effects. When in doubt, it's best to limit your intake of such chemicals.

FDA recalls 28 popular drinks due to harmful chemical exposure

Apparently, it's not just sodas that we have to worry about right now. A list of almost 30 drinks has been released, all recalled, that contain a dangerous amount of even more harmful chemicals than what exists in sodas. A warning from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is trying to alert the public about these drinks that are mostly from the PepsiCo brand.

On the list are drinks like the Himalayan tea for pain relief, Fiji Water, and Martinelli's Apple Juice, to name a few. There are a couple popular sodas on there, too, as well as some baby formulas.

Whatever you do, don't drink ANYTHING that made it onto this list. When they say harmful, they mean it. The apple juice was found to contain higher levels of arsenic.
