The 'green superfood' health craze has spawned a lot of fake superfoods.
Chief among them are these premixed juices that you find in the beverage aisle in convenience and grocery stores.
They plaster the labels with a lot of healthy looking stuff like broccoli, kale, and spinach.
But if you look closely at the label, they're really just soda-pop dressed up as a health drink.
A really egregious example is Naked Juice's Green Machine.
This 'green juice' has a whopping 28 grams of sugar in a measly 8 ounce bottle.
That's about as much on an ounce-per-ounce basis as a can of Pepsi.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised since Naked Juice is owned by...drumroll.. Pepsi.
But smaller brands like Bolthouse Farms Daily Greens juice have up to 30 grams of sugar.
That's about 8 teaspoons of sugar in just 8 ounces of liquid!
Even worse many other 'health food' makers hide sugar content with names like dextrose, barley malt, rice syrup, agave nectar, cane juice, and fruit juice.
Make no mistake: these are all sugars and affect your body almost the exact same way as good old fashioned table sugar.
