The unhealthiest drinks in America

It may not be what you eat, but what you drink that keeps you from losing those extra pounds. According to the FDA, the average American takes in 82 grams of added sugars everyday, 20 teaspoons, equaling 317 empty calories tacked onto an already high calorie diet.
Many of those calories can be found in what you drink.
Men’s Health Magazine’s Belly Busting Beverages Blog exposes the unhealthiest drinks in America.
1 – Glaceau Vitamin Water may sound like a healthy option. The label does not mention along with the vitamins, it also contains 33 grams of sugar, nearly as much sugar as a can of Coke.
2 – Jamba Juice’s Peanut Butter Moo’d Power Smoothie proves rough on the scales. More of a milkshake, this smoothie has 1,170 calories, 169 grams of sugar, and 30 grams of fat.
3 – One summertime cocktail to avoid, the pina colada. This tasty combination of sweet pineapple juice and coconut milk has 75 grams of sugar and 625 calories.
4 – You might have some trouble shedding those extra pounds after a trip to Baskin Robbins. In addition to sundaes, they also have the unhealthiest drink in America. A large Heath bar shake adds a whooping 2,310 calories to your diet. You would have to eat 11 Heath Bars to equal one of these diet disasters.
