According to a recent blog post on The Stir, many of the smoothies that fast-food chains are selling these days are anything but healthy.

"Even the new McDonald's Wild Berry Smoothie and comparable Jamba Juice Berry Yumberry Smoothie are just okay -- they are relatively low-cal (210 and 230 respectively) but still pack mega grams of sugar."

Head over to The Stir to see the five worst offenders and find out which smoothie comes in with a whopping 960 calories and 23 grams of fat.

Calories are what are making people fat, not sugar...

Sugar's no more bad for you than celery ... just that I can eat a whole lot more celery due to the contrasing calorie counts. Really miffs me when the "food police" try to put a crimp on what I choose to eat. (No, the folks here at Slash haven't gone that far ... just to be clear/fair.)
