Crazy how you probably wouldn't get a slice of cheesecake factory cheesecake on the side of your Macdonald's meal; but never think twice about a medium soda that has the same amount of added sugar

Reminds me of that one post that goes "Whenever I see those comparisons of sugar between donuts and soda it just seems to me that donuts are healthier than I thought"

At my healthiest weight used to get a quad espresso and an artisinal creme filled donut each morning at one point.

It got eyebrows, but it was also a third of the calories of a large Starbucks caffinated milkshake (and that's what they are -- addictive milkshakes).

Less liquid, less piss, more code, I'm surprised more hackers don't seek out quality espresso instead of these weird XTREME energy drinks.

Anyways yes, a donut is about 500 calories, a big soda or coffee with fillings is much much more.

thats because the "ier" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting. getting fat from all that sugar is the least of your concerns. it also ages you rapidly and makes you more likely to have ongoing systemic inflammation. I'm back in the states for the last two weeks and the difference between people here and when I was aboard is jarring.

Also crazy that a lot of what people consider "coffee" is basically a large milkshake.

Well, come on. Have you tasted coffee? There's a reason its commercial form is all sugar and no coffee.

Or more. CF's nutritional info says their cheesecakes range from about 60 to 120 g of sugar per slice, plus 60 to 120 g of saturated fat.

It's crazy how some people still eat McDonalds and drink soft drinks at all.
