high voltage’s top 5 sugar shockers for summer
TRANSCRIPT
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.
