This "X uses the same ingredients used in dangerous substance Y" seems like a very misleading and stupid way to compare things. It's yellow journalism and scare tactics at its finest. I'm sure a tennis racket is made of chemicals that are used to make dangerous $hit, should I not touch a tennis racket then?
Anyhow, with that being said, I'm in no way a proponent of soft drinks. I do enjoy them time to time; but I feel it's best not to bring them into the home, that way the temptation isn't there. Juices aren't healthy either, they are chop full of sugar. Might as well drink a can of coke instead of that "healthy" Odwalla smoothie. Everything is fine in moderation, just don't make consumption of sugar drinks and processed foods part of your regular diet.
