· It's Friday! After a long
week of work, you're probably ready to curl up on the couch with a big box of
doughnuts. But having read Gary Taubes' expose in Mother Jones on
the sugar industry's terrifying campaign to convince the American public that
sugar won't kill you, maybe you'll reach for a "healthier" option
instead—like a green Odwalla "Super Food" smoothie.
Not so fast. According to a
new report by Credit Suisse, you might be better off eating a doughnut than
some of the stuff marketed as healthy. Here are nine surprising foods that have
more sugar than a Krispy Kreme doughnut, which, at 10 grams, seems saintly in
comparison:
1. LUNA BAR: 11 GRAMS
2. GRANDE STARBUCKS LATTE: 17 GRAMS
3. SUBWAY 6" SWEET ONION TERIYAKI CHICKEN SANDWICH:
17 GRAMS
4. 8 OZ TROPICANA 100% ORANGE JUICE: 22 GRAMS
5. YOPLAIT ORIGINAL YOGURT: 27 GRAMS
6. 20 OZ VITAMIN WATER: 33 GRAMS
7. SPRINKLES RED VELVET CUPCAKE: 45 GRAMS
8. CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN THAI CHICKEN SALAD: 45 GRAMS
9. ODWALLA SUPER FOOD SMOOTHIE (12 OZ): 50 GRAMS
