Each 100g delivers 9g of sugar (18% DV) with zero fiber to slow absorption. Daily intake can cause rapid glucose rises, increasing insulin demand and over time raising type 2 diabetes risk.
At 161 kcal per 100g, a typical 250ml serving (about 250g) provides ~403 kcal. Since it has 0g protein and 0.1g fat, these calories lack satiety, potentially leading to overconsumption and weight gain if not offset.
Per 100g, you get only 5mg calcium, 2mg magnesium, and 11mg potassium—less than 1% of daily needs. Relying on this drink for hydration or nutrients displaces water or whole fruits, worsening micronutrient gaps.
The drink is fortified with vitamin E, but the exact amount isn't specified. Regular intake may help meet vitamin E needs, but excess from multiple fortified foods can accumulate, potentially interfering with blood clotting if combined with high-dose supplements.
Verdict
Drinking this daily adds significant sugar and calories with almost no nutritional benefit, making it a poor choice for regular consumption. Occasional use is fine, but water or whole fruit is far better.
⚠️ Who Should Avoid
- People with diabetes or prediabetes
