I don't drink regular juice unless I have to. I don't like it. I do drink
the juice from a grapefruit if I am eating one, which is rarely. I do like
them. I just don't eat much fruit ever. I drink the diet cranberry. I'm
sure it has a sweetener but not sure what. I also drink tons of Diet Coke
with Lime.
