> You can't just list some stuff with chemically sounding names and say "look - scary bad chemicals!"

I didn't say "look - scary bad chemicals!", you did.

> What specifically are you claiming is bad?

I provided a non-exhaustive list of things previously. You seem aware of that, so I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. If the list isn't specific enough, what were you looking for?

> You went from "soda has other bad things in it" to "probably, possibly, maybe" as soon as you had to be more specific.

Sure. I usually don't speak in definite terms - especially when I haven't looked up things of this nature and studies of these particular ingredients for years - probably over a decade. So I'm going off memory.

Feel free to research various ingredients in soda that fall under the categories I've listed (and beyond) and refute them being bad with data. Otherwise, you just aren't being very specific

Edit:

> This is still just the Natural = Good, Artificial = Bad fallacy

To be clear, I am not making that argument. I do not believe this, and this is a miscategorization of my point.

Soda is not equally as healthy/the same as juice. Whether marginally, or not, my point is that juice is healthier than soda
