The Starbucks Holiday Drinks Have as Much Sugar as Seven Donuts

Starbucks’ holiday drinks are out and according to a new study, they have a RIDICULOUS amount of sugar in them.

A grande Gingerbread Frappuccino, Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino, or Caramel Brulee Frappuccino all have as much sugar as seven Krispy Kreme glazed DONUTS.  And a venti Eggnog Latte has as much as five-and-a-half.

And that’s actually BETTER than they’ve been in the past.  Starbucks says they’ve cut the sugar in their Christmas drinks by 33% in the past three years.  (New York Post)
