Nutrition Information


Many food packagers use the old trick in which the nutrition information on the label is based on a serving size, but the container contains multiple servings-leaving you to do the math. VitaminWater is a good example - each bottle contains 2.5 servings of the sugar-sweetened water, so a whole bottle delivers 33 grams of sugar (almost as much as a can of Coke). That’s a lot of calories when plain water could do the trick. One bottle (2.5 servings) of the Charge flavor: 125 calories, 32.5g sugar.
