Phix: the smart, easy way to feel better every day

Reuters recently reported that sweetened fruit drinks may lead to a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes. I already knew they weren't exactly good for me, but I wasn't aware there were more serious health issues to consider.

Sweetened fruit drinks are often chosen in favor to non-diet sodas. After all, anything containing the word "fruit" must be healthier than a soft drink, right? Not necessarily. According to the report, researchers at Brown University found that, "Women who drank two or more sweetened fruit drinks per day had a 31 perfect increased risk compared to those who drank fewer than one such fruit drunk a month."

That's because many of these sugary culprits are made with high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener that takes a large tole on the environment. It's very cheap to make, but requires a ton of processing. More fertilizers and insecticides are involved in its creation than you can imagine, but that doesn't stop manufacturers from pumping out the stuff. 

In a report about the dangers of high fructose corn syrup, The Washington Post said, "The more fuel, energy and chemicals that go into processing a food, the less nutritious that food probably is." And because of its metabolic effects, consuming high fructose corn syrup often leads to eating when you're not even hungry.

But it's okay, phix is here to help. It understands our sweet tooth. It encourages our sweet tooth! And it rides us of these health concerns while working to satisfy our sugar cravings, because it comes in all-natural (keyword: natural) sweet flavors of Teaberry, Citron and Tropic. And you know how sweetened fruit drinks and sodas often leave that heavy, syrup-y, caramel-y artificial taste in your mouth? You don't get that with phix, because it's light, fresh and all about the natural goodness. No high fructose corn syrup here.

And I think that's pretty sweet.
