Beware the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing


I eat about 80g/day of carbohydrates.  The average for Americans is between 300 and 400 grams per day.

Interesting label on a "healthy and nutritious" drink. Note the 33 grams per serving of carbs, with 4 servings per bottle, for a whopping 132 grams of carbohydrate in one bottle.  I would love to know how many purchasers drink this all in one sitting.

So, if you find you need to get a bunch of empty calories but convince yourself that you are doing yourself a favor, here's the ideal solution, which has "NO SUGAR ADDED."  It's also "ALL NATURAL FRUIT."

According to this site, a cup of blueberries has ~21g of carbs.  (http://www.carb-counter.net/fruit/1061)  That means you can get 6 cups of blueberries in just one bottle of this stuff!! Such a deal. 



Here's a smaller version of the same product:

Sorry for the sideways angle, but the numbers are:  2 servings, 29g of carbs per serving, which delivers a  nice daily jolt of 58g of carbs to start your day off on the right track.  I just can't figure out why we have this epidemic of diabetes in our country ...
