Bubble tea isn't bad for you. Did you notice there are many hit pieces against bubble tea? Print or media, are always implying and hammering into you that drinking bubble tea is negative. It is no more worse than Iced Coffee, soft fizzy drink or even yoghurt! If you eat flavoured yoghurt, try eating natural yoghurt next time by adding some fruit conserve (jam) in it and see how many teaspoons you need to add in order to sweeten it to the same level.

If you get the boba (tapioca pearls) with your milk tea, you should order the drink at “0% sugar level”.The boba pearls are soaked in honey and sugar already, so when put into the drink, it already contains sugar. The milk tea will taste pleasantly sweet, even at “0% sugar”, due to the boba pearls being so saturated in honey 🍯

@s._3560 2 года назад

Just another hit piece on bubble tea industry. Some people with vested interests in coffee cafes and colas are just angry their drinks market share is being eaten away. Bubble tea industry has already met the challenge by customising sugar levels. They are just grasping at straws. Many other foods also contain a lot of saturated fats, sugar like soft serve ice cream, iced coffee, fizzy soft drinks, yoghurt with lots of sugary toppings e.g. sprinkles, sugary cereals. If you want to find out how much sugar per 100g, just read their nutritional info on the side of the products.

And as for caffeine, Americans drink on average 3-cups of coffee a day... So putting everything into context is helpful. But I do agree with the (unfortunate) marketing to children and teens...

Not sure if most people still drink bubble tea with 100% sugar. More people usually go for 50 or 30% nowadays (depends on demographics). Also, it would have been better if Steve did not know about the supposed effects of drinking too much bubble tea before he went on the experiment, such as having mood spikes. He might have been affected by what was mentioned to him and became more conscious about it. This might make the experiment seem like a less fair one - a 'self-fulfilling prophecy'.
