When summer's in full swing, nothing quenches quite like an ice-cold tea. While cracking open a bottle of Brisk or Snapple is OK occasionally, you'll want to limit these sugary teas from your daily menu.
Sure, you're getting some antioxidants along with the tea—but that doesn't justify the incredulous amounts of sugar in some of these bottles. Many ready-to-drink iced teas pack more than a full day's added sugar in just one serving. The American Heart Association recommends that women consume no more than 25 grams of added sugar daily while men limit their intake to 36 grams. Eating too much sugar too frequently can contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
