sugary health drinks?

There are so many "health" drinks out there that are not healthy.  They claim to reduce inflammation.  The information we get from the media has to always be tested against our own experience.  The disclaimer that you don't usually (or maybe never) get, is that it depends.  There are a lot of statements that sound good and are not fully true.  It may be true that certain foods are "healthy" in comparison to really unhealthy foods.  This is relativism.  In comparison to something bad something that is not as bad  is called good.  Back to the "health" drinks.  Sugar increases inflammation and degeneration of the body.  A true sign of a health drink is that it cleanses and nourishes the body.  Try clean water.  So, the test of whether or not something is a health drink is watching how it effects you.  Does it have a good cumulative effect?  Healthy effects include:  clearer thinking, less mood swings, less fatigue, better sleep, and better strength, to name a few.
