And plenty of studies have linked excess sugar with depression [1] And I'm sure many people have more than 1 cup per day of bubble tea too.

- slothtrop 3y agoYes. Some vendors allow you to control the sugar content, at least. I had ordered a drink with "light" sugar once (1/4 of normal amount) and it still tasted plenty sweet to me, and probably still topped at 350-400 calories. I usually never drink my calories.
