I feel that often times people may feel that since you drink it, it's not that bad for you. It may not be completely accurate, but it will also give you an idea of how good/bad for you the other liquids you consume are . Can be found in Augusts Mens health issue.

10. Worst Milk Beverage - Hershey's Chocolate Milk - Per 8-ounce carton : 130 calories, 26g of sugar. Besides being loaded with sugar; it contains more water than actual milk.

9. Worst Soda - Sunkist Orange - Per 12-ounce can: 190 calories, 52g of sugar. More sugar per ounce than any other soda

8. Worst Spritzer - R.W. Knudsen Family Tangerine - Per 12-ounce bottle: 200 calories, 46g of sugar. The label says, "No sugar added." Good thing.

7. Worst Bottled Green Tea - SoBe Green Tea - Per 20-ounce bottle: 250 calories, 63g of sugar. To make regular tea this sweet you would have to add 16 packets of sugar

6. Worst Juice Drink - Arizona Kiwi Strawberry - Per 23.5-ounce can: 352 calories, 82g of sugar. You would have to eat 11 cups of strawberries ( 11 blocks =P) to consume this much sugar from the whole fruit

5. Worst Fountain Drink - 7-Eleven Double Gulp[filled with Cola]- Per serving: 534 calories, 130 g of sugar. This is 2 liters of soda

4. Worst Hot Coffee Drink - Starbucks Venti 2% Pepper-mint White Chocolate Mocha - Per serving: 660 calories, 95g of sugar. More added sugar than the average person consume in a day

3. Worst Frozen Drink - Dairy Queen Carmel MooLattee - Per 24-ounce large: 880 calories, 115g of sugar. Having a large DQ chocolate sundae instead would save you 300 calories

2. Worst Smoothie - Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo'd Power Smoothie - Per 30-ounce serving: 1,170 calories, 169g sugar. As much sugar as 13 bowls of Froot Loops

1. Worst Drink in America - Cold Stone Creamery Oh Fudge! Shake - Per 20-ounce serving: 1,660 calories, 160g of sugar. Has almost 3/4 cups of sugar and more calories than six McDonald's hamburgers!!!

    Will someone please pick up my jaw off the floor??? That is crazy :sick:

    The only one I've had - other than the Sunkist when I was a kiddo and of course the Hershy's chocolate milk - is the MooLatte from DQ. Mmmmm. They're so good. Haven't had one in a couple of years though! Now I know why . . .:cry:
  • WOW. Yeah I've long since cut out any beverages with calories (except alcohol, and then I stick to straight gin and tonics, wine, or light beer). Crystal light is great when I need something sweet and Tropicana makes a low-cal orange juice too.

    After plugging in my food for today for the first time I realize my favorite drink (Mt. Dew hm hm hm) is my worst enemy. That being said Mt. is hindering my progress so it's out the door. When my goals are reached I'll apply the term "moderation" as it relates to my sparkling buddy.

    Wow! :huh: Thank gawd I don't actually drink any of those, particular, drinks. Of course, my weakness with drinks would have to b e 1 Martini's; James Bond style 2. Labatts Beer 3. Single Malt scotch 4. Mtn Dew Orange.
    Hmmm.... maybe that's why I mostly just drink water? :drinker:
