My lovely wife the RD/RN said this story needs to be spread far and wide: ‘Cans of diabetes’ Is an excellent way of describing this mess.

Gee, sweet tea has sugar in it. Stop the presses!

[bigbob]

Sweet Tea is and always has been an abomination.

How else are you supposed to make it other than dumping in a s#itload of sugar??

[HYPOCRACY]

Vaxxes and sugar. Better together.

McDonald’s unsweetened tea, common in most parts of the US, is fine.

[caver]

McDonalds unsweetened iced tea is pretty good if it fresh.

[MrRelevant]

Its called sweet tea....how does one think its gets to be sweet. Not to discount the health aspects of consuming anything McDonalds but why is this so groundbreaking? I doubt this is even the sweetest thing on the menu.

I only drink unsweetened tea. Two times in the last decade or so, something strange happened with McDonald’s tea making me steer away from theirs. I let my unfinished tea sit over night (do it all time). But the next day upon sipping, the tea turned to slime, pure okra style. Very nasty and I have no idea why that happened and it was only Micky-dees and no one else’s.

I’m impressed that they use actual sugar.

[dragnet2]

They put sugar in everything now, they want everyone dead. They’re even finding sugar in salt now.

[fuzzylogic]

I consider anything bought from fast food establishments to be highly unhealthy. It’s why I rarely go there. This really shouldn’t be a surprise.

[Doulos1]

Excess sugar doesn’t cause diabetes. Diabetes is a genetic flaw in DNA code. Mostly hereditary (think Mexican).

If I ever order iced tea from McD’s because I’m on the road, I ask for the “unsweetened” tea, with one sugar packet on the side. I use about half the packet in a large size tea.

[Svartalfiar]

Meh. I used to work at a BBQ restaurant back in high school. We certainly had sweet tea, and if I remember correctly, it was a quart (1/2 gal?) scoop of sugar per 5gal dispenser. Two tea bags for sweet, one bag for the commie tea.

We often got compliments on it after I happened to make it, cause I usually did two scoops of sugar.
