MONSTER ENERGY DRINK

Love energy drinks? A single can has 57 grams of sugar, or about 14 teaspoons of added sugar. Why not kick start your day with a walk or run? You’ll feel more energized.

VITAMIN WATER Tropical Citrus

Vitamin  Water  looks  like  a  healthy  way  to  hydrate  when  you  grab  a  bo6le  at  the  corner  store.  Unfortunately,  you'll  be  consuming  32  grams  of  sugar  in  a  single  bo6le,  which  is  about  8  teaspoons.  You’re  much  be6er  off  eaDng  a    piece  of  fresh  fruit  and  drinking  a  glass  of  water.

SIERRA MIST

We  all  know  soda  is  bad  for  you  but  did  you  know  that  recent  research  has  found  an  associaDon  between  a  heightened  risk  of  asthma  and  other  breathing  condiDons  and  drinking  more  than  half  a  liter  soda  every  day.  

ARIZONA ORGANIC Green Tea

Sweetened  iced  tea  is  very  popular,  with  people  believing  it  to  be  a  healthy  alternaDve  to  soda.  In  reality,  it  is  just  as  bad  as  the  others,  with  13  grams  of  sugar.  Don’t  let  works  like  ‘organic‘  and  ‘  green‘  fool  you.  Read  the  label.

2.5  servings

SNAPPLE FRUIT PUNCH

A  single  serving  of    some    so-­‐called  healthy  fruit  juices  have  been  found  to  contain  the  same  amount  of    sugar  as  three-­‐and-­‐a-­‐half  doughnuts.  There’s  no  fiber  in  juice  to  slow  down  the  absorpDon  of  sugar  in  your  system.  Enjoy  a  piece  of  fruit  with  a  glass  of  water.  Whole  fruit  provides  you  with  a  whole  lot  more  nutriDon  that  fruit  juice.
