Not Fresh!?!

Men's Health Magazine has published an article titled, "The 20 Unhealthiest Drinks in America".

This is a very comprhensive read. I will give you a few spoilers, yeah?

Worst Soda

Sunkist (12 oz can)
190 calories
52 g sugar
Sweetened soft drinks account for about 10 percent of the average American's calorie consumption—about 200 completely unnecessary calories a day. For someone looking to lose 10 pounds fast, there is no simpler, quicker way to do it than by canning the soda.

Worst Lemonade

Minute Maid Lemonade (20 oz bottle)
250 calories
68 g sugar
This is little more than glorified sugar water, with only a trace amount of real juice. Lemonade in general is a dubious drink, but if you can't stand the thought of going without it, try Santa Cruz brand lemonade. When you bring the bottle home, dump it into a pitcher and add 4 ounces of water for every 8 ounces of lemonade. Otherwise, you may as well drink a Coke with a squeeze of lemon.

Worst Iced Tea

Lipton Iced Brisk Lemon Iced Tea (20 oz bottle)
325 calories
81 g sugar
Iced tea is loaded with metabolism-boosting, cancer-fighting compounds called polyphenols, but Lipton does its best to undo any potential healthy benefit you might derive from the tea's antioxidants by drowning them in 20 teaspoons of sugar. Your tea of choice should carry no more than 15 grams of sugar per 20-oz serving.

Worst Juice Imposter

Arizona Kiwi Strawberry (23.5 oz can)
360 calories
84 grams of sugar
These hulking calorie cannons (5 percent juice, 95 percent sugar water) are sold at gas stations and convenience stores across America for the low, low price of 99 cents, making this quite possibly the cheapest source of empty calories in the country.

Worst Chocolate Milk

Nesquik (16 oz bottle)
400 calories
10 g fat (6 g saturated)
60 g sugar
Quik and other chocolate milk manufacturers try to sell parents on the bone-building calcium found in their product, but what they don't talk about is the fact that a single bottle of this stuff contains as much sugar as three Haagen Dazs Vanilla and Almond ice cream bars. Yikes. Make a healthier version yourself at home with 2 percent milk and a scoop of real powdered cocoa—you'll save about 150 calories, plus get the antioxidant benefits of cacao without the high-fructose corn syrup.

The Worst Drink in America

Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake

2,310 calories
108 g fat (64 g saturated)
266 g sugar
Let's look at America's Worst Drinks in numbers:
73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you'd need to spend on a treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn it off.

Let's stick to fresh, ok?

Fresh is good!!
