What's one of the best, and worst, things that you can drink for your diet?

Grapefruit, 19, and juice. But you already knew the answer to number 3, right?
JUICE. In moderation, there isn't too much that's bad for you. Juice can be a great source of vitamins, especially Vitamin C. There are often juices with calcium added, particularly helpful if you have kids that don't drink milk. There's a big difference, though, between juice and juice blends, which mix juice with sweeteners, color and flavor additives. Juice drinks, flavored waters, teas and the like - and you all know that there's precious little, if any, juice in things like Fanta and Snapple - can wreck more havoc on a diet than you'd think possible.
I'm not advocating that no one ever drink juice. 100% fruit juice, mixed in a blender with frozen fruit and protein powder, makes one of my favorite beverages. I'm a fan, in particular of V-8 Frusion juice. It makes a great smoothie.
When in doubt, eat whole fruit. It fills you up for very little calories, most of it has a bonus of fiber, and it tastes good - win all around!
