A member asked:
I am searching for an alternative to daily diet soda for my 82 yr old father. is kombucha a better alternative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet?: It is best to avoid carbonated beverages. Sierra mist may be better than other sodas due to absence of harmful ingredients such as corn syrup and caffeine. Otherwise, mineral water is the best! the advantage of using sugar substitutes is debatable.
