The Worst Drinks in America

Worst Bottled Coffee
Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino (13.7 oz bottle)
290 calories 4.5 g fat (2.5 g saturated) 46 g sugars
Most people don't associate coffee with milk shakes - like loads of sugar, but that's exactly what's happening inside this bottle. Add one of these to your diet every morning and you'll add about 28 pounds of flab to your body in a year.
Drink This Instead!
Java Monster Lo-Ball Coffee + Energy (15 oz can)
100 calories 3 g fat (2 g saturated) 8 g sugars

Worst Bottled Beverage
Sobe Liz Blizz (20 oz bottle)
310 calories 1 g fat (0.5 g saturated) 77 g sugars
Don't be fooled by the natural motifs that adorn Sobe's bottles. Spin this one around and you'll see that it's made from water, sugar, skim milk, and cream. We've said it before and we'll say it again: Don't buy products with cartoon animals on the front.
Drink This Instead!
Sobe Lean Energy (20 oz bottle)
13 calories 0 g fat 2.5 g sugars

Worst Soda
Sunkist (20 oz bottle)
320 calories 84 g sugars
All full-sugar sodas are evil, but they weren't all created equal. A 12 oz can of Coke - the tooth-rotting standard - contains 140 calories and 39 g of sugar. That same size can from Sunkist packs 190 calories and a staggering 52 g sugar. Tack on the extra 8 oz in this orange monster and you begin to understand why soft drinks are oten cited as one of the top contributors to obesity and diabetes in this country.
Drink This Instead!
Honest Ade Orange Mango (16.9 oz bottle)
100 calories 24 g sugars
