Cmv: iced tea (specifically arizona) is no better for you than soda.:
Let's start with the numbers:

Arizona Iced Tea (lemon): 24 grams of sugar in 8 oz.
Coca-Cola Classic: 27 g
Pepsi: 28 g

Ingredients:

Arizona: tea brewed in filtered water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, lemon flavor.
Coke: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, flavors, caffeine.

Their first two ingredients are basically identical: water and high fructose corn syrup. Of course, Arizona gets its flavor mostly from tea leaves while Coke gets it from flavoring. They both stain teeth; Coke has caramel color while Arizona again gets it from the tea leaves.

I like both drinks, but I feel at this point that they are both pretty terrible at this point and that they should only be used sparingly. CMV.
