Does China not have fruit juice? Seems like juice is just as bad.

A lot of the population over there don't regularly drink juice.

They're also not comparatively as big on sweets over there. They have less sugar in their Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies compared to the US/Canada.

I don't think it's that way in China to be healthy somehow.

People from Asia often whine that in the West there is no non-sweet and non-alcoholic option for drinks.

They have juices but they have a wider range of less sweet stuff they can have instead.

I feel them, I'm jonesing for my Chinese tea. But they do have a ton of sugary drinks of their own now that I think about our asian supermarkets.

Yeah, I think the different is they have the choice while in the West very often soda, juice or water are the only cold options.
