Sugar is a huge part of our diets and for good reason. It provides essential energy needed to go about our daily tasks, but is also the best ingredient for a quick pre-workout energy boost, or even after a workout when energy levels need to be replenished. The problem is however that in our modern society, we are consuming far too much sugar and sadly, a lot of this sugar is coming from food and drink that is being labelled as "healthy". Everyone's sugar intake differs depending on how sedentary or active one's lifestyle is, but hidden sugar is making it difficult for people to scope their daily intake.

So depending on how active you are, it is probably best to limit your intake of these drinks as they may be doing more harm than good.
