is there a site that does comparisons between all soft drinks, i'm trying to find one that is the least bad for me.
i was drinking diet coke citrus but the chemical and caffiene levals are very high.
i'm looking for something lemon/lime type flavour sugar free and very low on everything else as well, not worried about price but i think the best ive found so far is tesco lemon and lime zero @59p per 2 litres only 24 cal per bottle plus no sugar , salt, fat or saturates.
if there is anything better out there please tell me as it is an important issue for me.

i would add that i do drink a rediculous amount of this stuff as that is all i drink apart from water up to 20 litres a week so it does have some serious health questions that have to answered

I used to drink loads of fizzy stuff, but after a serious warning from my dentist a few years ago I switched to freshly brewed coffee. Decent stuff, not the cheap supermarket stuff. I now only have 1 can a day, sometimes only the 150ml ones, other days 250ml.

You can buy a soda machine and make your own with fresh fruit, you know what's in it then :thumbs
