This has how much sugar?!?! 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon = 16.5 calories To maintain a healthy weight, the USDA recommends no more than 10 % of calories should come from added sugar. That is the equivalent to 12 teaspoons or 48 g in a typical 2,000 calorie diet. 2

The Effects of Sugar Sugar makes your energy spike and then crash so fast that you need to reenergize soon after with more food & drink. That can lead to overeating and weight gain.

Beverages The average American gets about 20% of their calories from beverages! If you were to drink just one 20 oz. regular soft drink a day in addition to your regular diet, you would gain 27 lbs in a year. If a beverage has 20% or more of the Daily Value for calcium or vitamin C in one serving, it’s considered a good “nutrient dense” choice
