    Default Green Tea Soda

    I have attempted to get myself off diet coke and other soft drinks for health reasons . I picked up some of these green tea sodas made by Hansens they have 35mg of ECGC and say this is a all natural , no preservatives , artificial colors, or caffeine. But on the nutrition facts I noticed 22gr of sugars - this seems kind of high to me . Now is this ECGC a good thing and does anybody else drink this stuff or is it just a scam .

    it sounds like better option than coke or something similar, but still not great. plain green tea would be better.

    try a line called honest tea. they have a lot of good flavors and many of their teas are only very lightly sweetned. i like morrocan mint the best. pay attention to the flavors though, because some have a lot more sugar than others.

    if the barely sweetened teas are too bitter or plain at first, start with slightly sweeter ones and go from there.

    I've had those too. They are tasty, but I think they rank right up there with sodas.

    no no. the moroccan mint tea only has 17 calories and 5 grams of sugar in an 8 oz serving. plus the sugar is from honey, rather than refined sugar. that's a lot better than the 105 calories from refined sugar in 8 ounces of coke.

    plus honest tea almost makes plain teas, without any sweeteners at all.

    The Hansen's sodas have glucose and fructose syrups. I don't see honey as an ingredient in any of them.

    Ok thanks - now the honest tea are in can ( single serving) form since you did say 8oz size ? I really dont get how these brands ( Hansens) can say all natural when they put that synthetic crap into them .

    the honest tea drinks come in 16oz bottles, so they've got 2 servings each. some are made with black tea, others are made with green or white. the green and white teas are much healthier. it usually specifies which tea is used on the label or ingredients.
