Is the Sugar from Juice and Gatorade bad for your abs?

[Bud_Fox]

I was just wondering. I drink Apple Juice/OJ/Gatorade almost every day, and that stuff has a lot of sugar. Is that bad if I am trying to get a flat stomach/Abs?

I drink the juice just for the "Vitamin C" but was just wondering if all of this sugar is having a negative effect on me trying to get Abs?

By the way, I very rarely drink soft drinks and when I do it is always Diet.

Thanks

Yes it def can be if you drink too much. You don't need calories from juices, a piece of fruit and water is way better then that refined sugary crap. Not helpful when you are trying to drop weight for a six pack or whatever.

And why don't you just take vitamin C tablets...hell they make them chewable if you don't like to swallow.

lots of other ways to get vit C... if it's bottled gatorade, the main ingredient is high fructose corn syrup. maybe it's just sugar...maybe it's much worse: http://www.westonaprice.org/modernfood/highfructose.html

Sugars are ok if you do enough cardio to burn off all the carbs; most people don't.
