Bottled Tea Is Hiding Two Things

Is tea bad? Yes and no; please bear with us. Tea is good for everyone’s health, including diabetics. We need to keep a closer eye on the bottled tea. When purchasing a refreshing drink on the run, take a moment to read the label and look at the sugar content—some bottled teas are startlingly high in sugar. Take note of the serving size as well. Some of these bottled teas come in big cans, which may encourage consumers to drink the full contents rather than capping them and saving the remainder for later.

To put this in context, one bagel contains the same amount of carbohydrates as four to six slices of bread. Yikes! Even whole-grain bagels contain dangerously high levels of carbohydrates for diabetics. Instead, do yourself a favor and eat bread.
