The talk about sugar in this thread I disagree with. The problem with concentrated high levels of sugar is highly available to the body so converted almost entirely to usable energy unlike more complex carbohydrates that are contained in a vegetable where the body must first break through the protein protecting the inner cell in the case if it's uncooked and then break that carbohydrate down to sugar. But the biggest issue is the desirability an 11 ounce or 330 ml can of cola is equal to about 450 gm or a pound of cabbage. I can tell you eating 450 gm of cabbage is a bit more effort than drinking that can of soft drink but approximately same energy content but my body will take hours most likely digesting that cabbage even though half the energy is sugar just the same as the sugar in the soft drink. My body will expend a certain amount of energy digesting the cabbage so the net energy will be lower but the soft drink sugar goes into my blood at a rapid rate within minutes of me drinking it. If one truly wants low sugar you shouldn't cook food because that creates sugars, cooked cabbage would have a higher percentage of sugars. The desirability of cola as my example is the problem along with how easy it is to consume or in other words too easy to have too much but inherently the sugar is the same as that in a fruit or vegetable. Fruit juices with 10% sugar like apple are pretty much as bad as soft drink, same high energy and just as easy to consume which people don't realise because we or at least me thought it was healthy from years of subtle brainwashing.
