    They have just as much sugar as a typical soda. Just as bad as soda imo. If it fits in your daily intake, sure. I personally dont like to take in many simple carbs. Years and years of abuse from simple carbs is what causes most diabetic issues from over working the pancreas. Simple carbs spike glucose quick and then dumps. Basically, sugar is bad for your health and people do get an addiction/craving for it. :
