Six table spoons of sugar? That's ok, I'll pass.

[cookingwithalia]

@gtrefghuk you can adjust the sugar to your taste

@MrsFery "Anyhow, you can always reduce the sugar or omit it if you prefer."

Which is what I said in my earlier coment. Americans get way too much sugar in their diet anyway. And it's not rich, decadent foods per se causing the problem. (Foie gras never killed anyone.) It's the refined carbs (especially fructose) and rancid "vegetable" oils that are wrecking their health.

@Ludlow889 If you buy a comparable all natural version, you're looking at 30grams of sugar/serving, and usually there are 2 servings/bottle. These facts are for 7servings/8oz ...If you actually try the recipe, you'll find it's just perfect.

@Ludlow889 true, though the likelihood of someone having serious health conditions from 2 packs of cigs/day , is much greater than someone eating 6T sugar/day. Sugar is not the culprit. Greedy people who are used to heavily rich decadent foods are the culprits. Anyhow, you can always reduce the sugar or omit it if you prefer.

[Ludlow889]

@MrsFery Yeah, and there are people who smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day and live to be 96, but it's still not a good idea to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Outliers, you know.

[Ludlow889]

@MrsFery Yeah, if you just sip a small glass of it once or twice a day and no other sweetened drinks, no problem. Still, there's already plenty of fructose in the pineapple, so I wonder why bother throwing in the extra sugar. Yeah, this concoction definitely better than OJ/AJ/soda...but it's still got too much sugar to be drinking in large quantities.
