20 Worst Drinks in America

Think your 'healthy' drink is really good for you? Think again...

20. Worst Water: Snapple Agave Melon Antioxidant Water (1 bottle, 20 fl oz)

150 calories, 0 g fat, 33 g sugars

Sugar Equivalent: 2 Good Humor Chocolate Éclair Bars

While "Worst Water" may sound like an oxymoron, the devious minds in the bottled beverage industry have even found a way to besmirch the sterling reputation of the world's most essential compound. Sure, you may get a few extra vitamins, but ultimately, you're paying a premium price for gussied-up sugar water. Next time you buy a bottle of water, check the recipe: You want two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, and very little else.

19. Worst Bottled Tea: SoBe Green Tea (1 bottle, 20 fl oz)

240 calories, 0 g fat, 61 g sugars

Sugar Equivalent: 4 slices Sara Lee Cherry Pie

Leave it to SoBe to take an otherwise healthy bottle of tea and inject it with enough sugar to turn it into dessert. The Pepsi-owned company's flagship line, composed of 11 flavors with names like "Nirvana" and "Cranberry Grapefruit Elixir," is marketed to give consumers the impression that it can cleanse the body, mind, and spirit. Don't be fooled. Just like this bottle of green tea, all of these beverages are made with two primary ingredients: water and sugar.
