That is a lot of sugar, but to be fair, go to your local convenience store (if you're in the US) and look at the back of just about any drink for sale aside from bottled water and you'll be hard pressed to find drinks that aren't just as bad.

    To be clear, that means they are all terrible for you. I think that's pretty much universally true of anything you can buy in a gas station.

    To be fair, if you look at sugar contents, even the "healthy" fruit juices are filled with them. In fact, many argue that a fruit juice is not as healthy as they tell us because while you get some of the good nutrients of fruit in them (when they are 100% and not from concentrate), you also get a huge intake of sugar that goes quickly into your blood. When you eat fruit, you take the same amount of sugar but you need to digest the fruit first, making it slower to absorb. It's a good practice to drink a fruit juice accompanied by something to eat so you don't get the sugar rush.
