My family and co-workers have discouraged me from touching this product. My boss made a comment that it was #2 on a top five list for worst beverages on the market right now. Judging by the sugar I've seen on the nutrition label, I'm not too surprised should this be true. Any thoughts?

carbs in grapes...wow
I was surprised when I finished lunch and had all my food logged that I had almost reached my daily carb intake already and was still below 600 calories for the day.

McCafe
