Are Smoothies Harming Your Health?

If you are drinking more than two servings of fruit or adding syrup to your smoothies, you need to read this article.

With so many designer sodas, specialty teas and coffees available these days, health experts warn to take another look at how much sugar we are consuming.  The American Heart Association recommends that adults consume no more than 25 grams of added sugar per day.  A 20 ounce cola contains 65 grams of sugar!  It’s not just the sodas, watch the smoothies and sports drinks.  Some of those contain 34 grams.  To keep sugar in check at home, use no more than two servings of fruit per smoothie.  When fruits are consumed in liquid form, the sugar goes straight into your bloodstream.  If it’s more than your body can process,  over time you could put your health at risk. When ordering smoothies on the go, avoid adding any syrups.   shops like Tropical Smoothie allow customers to opt out of the extra sugar.
