I little graphic from the Rethink Your Drink Campaign.
The healthiest drink of course is water.
The graphic shows that water by far has the least amount of
sugar. Some drinks have as much as 17 teaspoons of sugar.
For me with diabetes, who per meal should not have more
than 45 grams of carbohydrates, I would have to distribute
this much sugar between many meals. Soda has 14
teaspoons, but juice drinks have 17. Even energy drinks
have lots of sugar. Sheri has purchased some sugar free
additives for water if you must have sugar. Milk has about
one teaspoon of sugar in a cup size serving. The sugar is all
natural lactose.
