Sugar in soft drinks – Look at this!

Here are some more examples of sugar stacks, courtesy of www.sugarstacks.com.


 Coca Cola 
 12 oz (355 ml) Can
 Sugars, total: 39g
 Calories, total: 140 
 Calories from sugar: 140*
 20 oz (590 ml) Bottle
 Sugars, total:	 65g
 Calories, total: 240 
 Calories from sugar: 240
 1 Liter (34 oz) Bottle
 Sugars, total: 108g
 Calories, total: 400 
 Calories from sugar: 400
* You'll notice that if you do the math on
many of these, the total caloric value 
is lower than the calories that should be
in the sugar alone, if sugar has 4 calories
per gram. We don't know if they used 
"low calorie" sugar; we just used the data
on the nutrition label, and assumed that
sugar accounted for 100% of the calories.
This was common for beverages but not
other products.

Most people add at least some ice to their fountain drinks. We figured in enough ice to account for 15% of the cup’s volume. Restaurants probably put in a lot more.

About the authors:

My wife and I are independent Herbalife distributors since March 1996. We both got great results on the products.

She lost 10kg within the first few months and I lost 36kg in 6 months. We both maintain our new healthy weight ever since. (Compulsory legal disclaimer: These results are not typical. Individual results will vary.)

Although we are both professionals – she being a medical doctor and me being a lawyer, we recommend the Herbalife products to everyone who wants to improve their health and well-being. We are a typical Herbalife family. Our kids love the products as much as we do.

The Herbalife business opportunity is arguably one of the best in the network marketing industry, paying back 73% of the gross turnover to its distributors via retail profits, wholesale profits, royalties and bonuses. The combination of these amazing products with this solid compensation plan, makes Herbalife in our eyes the best network marketing opportunity out there.

If you are not yet a Herbalife distributor, but are interested to know more, you can click on the Apply Online (smiling lady picture) on the right. It will take you to a new page that provide you with more information.
