Fruit Juice, even no-sugar-added, has as much sugar and calories as Soda

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:17:09 GMT

JUST WHAT IS THE SUGAR CONTENT OF FRUIT JUICE? We’ll use orange, apple, cherry and grape juice as examples. Even with no sugar added, fruit juice contains about the same amount of sugar as the same amount of soft drink. Because apples, oranges and grapes are naturally full of sugar. (No surprise there: Processed sugar comes from plants, usually corn or sugar cane or sugar beets.) The table below compares the sugar in 12 ounces of juice (no sugar added) with 12 ounces (one can) of Coca-Cola. If you look at the nutrition label on a can of Coke or fruit juice, the “carbohydrate” is mostly sugar. Four grams of sugar carbs equal approximately 1 teaspoon of sugar.

12 ounces of >>>>>>>	Coca-Cola	Orange Juice	Apple Juice	Cherry Juice	Grape Juice
Total carbohydrates	40 g	39 g	42 g	49.5 g	60 g
Carbs from sugar	40 g	33 g	39 g	37.5 g	58.5 g
Sugar (teaspoons)	10 tsp	8 tsp	10 tsp	9 tsp	15 tsp

TOP 10 Super Powers That Would Suck

Clip Source: top10kid.com

10. Soft Drink Transference

Explanation: The power to cause whatever carbonated beverage that you are consuming to change it’s flavor to that of an alternate brand, ie. Coke to Pepsi, Dr. Pepper to Mountain Dew.

Why it would suck: Maybe you really wanted a Mr. Pibb? Sucks for you because now it’s a Diet Fanta.

9. Dryer Freshening

Explanation: Everything you touch is now given that wonderful, fresh out of the dryer smell.

Why it would suck: It would be great at first but who wants a slice of pizza that smells like it was cooked in the same place you wash your underwear and gym socks. And after awhile, you’d probably think it wasn’t so wonderful and fresh anymore.

8. Extremely Limited Levitation

7. Heightened Smell

6. Aluminum/Dermal Replacement

5. Room Temperature Control

4. Animal Magnetism

3. Extremely Limited Time Travel

2. Super Speed with Bad Coordination

1. Permanent X-Ray Vision

LONDON - Oscar-winning British actress Helen Mirren said she used to love cocaine, but stopped taking the drug after learning that a Nazi war criminal profited from the trade, according to a magazine.

"I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties," Mirren was quoted as telling the magazine in an interview, which was made available to the media Monday. "But what ended it for me was when they caught (Nazi war criminal) Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, in the early 80s. He was hiding in South America and living off the proceeds of being a cocaine baron.

"And I read that in the paper, and all the cards fell into place, and I saw how my little sniff of cocaine at a party had an absolute direct route to this ... horrible man in South America," she was quoted as saying.

Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co., the world’s largest beverage firm, is working on a proprietary fountain system that can dispense more than 100 beverages from a single unit.

First-generation prototype dispensers were tested earlier this summer, the company said Thursday. Second-generation dispensers will begin testing in the first half of 2009. A decision on whether to roll out the system in the market will be made after the second round of testing.

Delta's baggage fees

In the latest in the seemingly never-ending series of announcements by airlines on the new fees they are levying on customers, Delta said yesterday that it will now charge people $50 each way to check a second bag on domestic flights, double the current $25

Starting Aug. 1, US Airways will even start charging passengers $2 for a Coke or a bottle of water

What does strike me in relation to the constant stream of new fees by the airlines is the increasingly negative reaction of people who fly regularly. Rather than becoming inured to all the extra fees, passengers are becoming more and more incensed. Just take a look at a sample of comments posted by readers of the Consumerist blog in reaction to the latest Delta announcement:

In all seriousness, what can airline passengers do in reaction to all the fees? Are there any avenues left, short of not flying?

BBC program Links Temporal lobe to Spituality

clipper's remarks: Now. I find this stuff fascinatin'! Well worth looking at the BBC videos! I'm not so sure about the text from LJ--kind of a dilletante, that one...
Bein' an old Hippie who did a lot of psychedelic drugs (a long time ago--and I'm alive and well 'cuz I avoided Coke and other dumbass drugs) ...so the value of my "spiritual" experiences may be directly correlated with the types of "divine" chemicals i took like psylocibin, peyote, LSD and the good herb Pakalolo---or as the guy says in the last video--it may be God's way of giving us an antenna towards the Divine and doesn't make the experience any less real or important. Developing a Spiritual consciousness rather than the mundane, everyday patterns of thought is quite important, neh? I find that I can get some of the same results by meditating (if I do it with regularity and depth, losing the "I")...of course it's not as much fun without the colors and stuff but just as meaningful, if not more. But then I didn't use drugs as recreation b

Religion and the Temporal Lobe

The BBC recently aired a documentary about how faith can be swayed by the activity residing in the temporal lobe, a center for brain activity; one most commonly paired with certain epileptic activity.

Scientists have debated for years about the role of the temporal lobe on religious activity; one noted change is the correlations between heavy drug/alcohol usage and increased religious activity afterwards. (George W. Bush is one person who springs to mind; spare the jokes, they already have been made.)

(Ironically a majority of conservatives have dealt with heavy drug usage in the past , and currently continue to do so as a side note.)

5 Reasons to Write Down Everything You Eat For a Week

I lost 50 lbs. (going from a US size 10 to US size 4)by writing down everything I ate and making changes based on the results. The more I thought about it, the more I think this habit is good for anyone - dieters, and non-dieters alike.

You snack a lot more than you realize

Carry a notebook with you and jot down every item of food and drink that passes your lips

You’re not eating enough fruit and vegetables

Are you hitting your five servings of fruit and veggies every day? Maybe you reckon that you’re “close”. Chances are, you’re sometimes only getting two or three – if that.

You drink WAY too much soda

if you’re chugging down five cans of coke a day, you’re swallowing a total of 175 grams of sugar

You spend too much on junk

In addition to watching your food intake, you're also watching the budget.

You don’t get enough variety in your diet

Are you writing down the same things for meals almost every day?

Try to get more variety

clipper's remarks: simple

Thanks in part to anthropomorphic polar bears and overcaffeinated graphic designs, "Coke's identity had become cluttered, uninspiring and easy to ignore." But with the help of "identity and package design firm" Turner Duckworth, the world's most recognizable sugar water brand received a fresh and clean new look that won a first ever Design Grand Prix award at Cannes Lions. The firm's "iconization of heritage" concept included a streamlined aluminum bottle that were based on Coca-Cola's signature glass bottles, a redesign of the cans, new signs/POS, and even graphics for delivery trucks. See some of the mods after the jump or download the full case study here: (PDF doc).

Coca Cola - Something for Everybody

Coca Cola has a long history of advertising. While mainly targeting families, Coke was always smart enough to niche down their ads. Women, as always, a popular tool of the advertising trade, took on different guises for different markets, throughout the years.
