Name: THE FRUTISTA

calories: 250

sugars: 59g

Alright, is anyone else horrified at this? I've recently discovered the frutista, to my taste buds delight. But each time I've tasted this sweet elixir something in the back of my mind has nagged at me. The story goes - I conveniently drive by a taco bell around lunch time and pick up a fruista, I then conveniently forget to check the nutritional values for the drink online. Well, keeping with the my recently adopted tradition of facing the hard facts of life - there was no other way to avoid my nutritional conscience and get online. For those of you that aren't of close relation to a diabetic or healthy living 59g in one twenty minute sitting may not frighten you. But it should. Ladies and gentlemen, the daily consumption for sugar for a woman my age should be 48 grams (at the most)! And remember, when nutritionists suggest this number they assume that most of the sugars should come naturally - and not from corn syrups like where the lovely fruista finds it's genetic makeup. And to make things worse - I ate crescent rolls for breakfast. I am on the fast track to becoming a part of the American landscape called large panis - otherwise known as FAT!
