I do the same thing. No sodas, strict limit on juices and I check labels like crazy. I cut out the sodas 10 years ago..2 years I started avoiding the HFCS as much as humanly possible.
I have cut just about all sodas and drink a lot more water. I use a Brita bottle with a filter. Until a few months ago, I was a heavy cheerwine drinker and I was feeling miserable in the evenings. These days I am doing much better.
