flavored sugar water with vitamins
32.5g of sugar per bottle, most of which is fructose.
- dcow 5y agoSo everything that has sugar in it but doesn't explicitly spell it out in the name must be renamed to include a reference to sugar in the name? Frosted flakes -> sugar frosted flakes, rice crispy bars aren't just rice + crispy, they're rice + sugar + crispy. Orange juice -> orange juice and added sugar. I mean come on it doesn't work. All that said, the term vitamin is also entirely subjective. Nothing about "vitamin" to me ever implied "healthy". It simply implied "has vitamin". It's just all around absurd.

- milesvp 5y agoAlthough orange juice is literally sugar water. I find it maddening that marketing has convinced us juice is healthy.
- strken 5y agoHaving a small (200ml or so) glass of orange juice once a day is going to net you most of your daily vitamin C requirement and a third of your recommended daily sugar intake. Whether it's healthy really depends on what the rest of your diet looks like: if you mostly live on sugary cereal, pizza, and chicken nuggets, OJ means you've got something vaguely fruit-like in your diet. If it's possible to substitute it for actual fruit, actual fruit is better, but the perfect is the enemy of the good. Sometimes I worry that "X is unhealthy!" can make people eat an even worse diet.
- specialist 5y ago> I mean come on it doesn't work. You're right. We shouldn't allow marketing candy as food.
- dcow 5y agoAnd we shouldn’t allow marketing drugs period. Australia got this one right.
