SuperForesters,
Earlier this month, World of Mysteries put up a blog post featuring some of the most harmful drinks in America by juxtaposing the drink itself with a food or dessert that matches up as it’s “sugar equivalent”. Now, all my life my pops has always told me not to purchase these sorts of sugary drinks and yeah, I knew they were anything but healthy, but seeing these images provides a shock that is difficult to shake.
Here’s an example:
Worst Bottled Tea
SoBe Green Tea (1 bottle, 20 fl oz)
240 calories
0 g fat
61 g sugars
Sugar Equivalent: 4 slices Sara Lee Cherry Pie
Luckily, it’s not all doom and gloom over at the World of Mysteries, because apart from presenting information about the harmful drinks, they do a pretty good job of offering us healthier alternatives in terms of purchasing drinks.
Alternative: Honest Tea Green
Dragon Tea (1 bottle, 16 fl oz)
60 calories
0 g fat
16 g sugars
…or you could just take my dad’s advice and squeeze your own delicious fruit and vegetable juices. That’s always fun, too. :)
Yours in learning,
Carla
