How smart can that be,swapping sugar for sodium.When you start getting nose bleeds from high blood pressure,it may be too late.Also all carbonated drinks will deplete the calcium in your body,then your body will start taking the calcium from your bones,causing a myriad of health problems you don't want.I recommend filter water,or juice.
