[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Juice and milk are so unhealthy- just drink water. Sparkling or still, and flavor with fruit or frozen fruit ice cubes if you want. Fruit is nutritionally equivalent to soda. [/quote]

Milk is not unhealthy. I know some alternative health people think so, but there is no evidence to back up a claim that it's unhealthy. I wouldn't drink it for thirst, though. And if OP is lactose intolerant, then she's obviously avoiding it.

And fruit is not nutritionally equivalent to soda (not even Robert Lustig says that!), even though like soda, fruit juice has too much sugar. Therefore, I wouldn't drink too much juice, and certainly not drink it straight for thirst.

When I was pregnant, I would mix a little bit of juice with filtered water. Maybe at a ratio of 1:8.

Even though I worried about everything in pregnancy, I didn't worry about the plastic of water bottles. But I mostly had filtered water coming from an undersink water filter into a glass anyway.[/quote]
