Aside from his top four, he included diet soda on the list, as many are sweetened with xylitol or erythritol, which he claims have been ‘associated with a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes’ in two recent studies.

Lemonade and orange juice also made it to the top 10, due to many having added teaspoons of sugar, as well as milk above one percent and coffee creamers.

He went on to label coffee creamers like Coffee Mate as ‘a Homer Simpson toxic drink’ because of its corn syrup content.

Levine recommended opting for plant-based milk that contains no added sugars and concluded: “Water, water, water is the best and least expensive. One carbonated water with nothing added is fine too.”
