Drinks that claim to boost your health may actually ruin your diet, according to Men's Health magazine.The publication listed the unhealthiest drinks, including a heavily advertised sports drink and smoothies from chains that market themselves to the health-conscious.The magazine said that even people who drink diet soda could get 20 percent or more of their daily calories from beverages.
It named VitaminWater from Glaceua as the worst supposedly healthy drink. A 20-ounce bottle contains 130 calories and 33 grams of sugar. In a typical 2,000-calorie diet, that would be about 6.5 percent of the recommended amount.The drink contains as much sugar and calories as a can of Coke.Arizona Kiwi Strawberry was called the worst juice imposter, with 360 calories and 84 grams of sugar. At 99 cents for a 23.5-ounce can, it was called the cheapest source of empty calories in the country.To learn about other drinks to watch out for, check out this slideshow.
