The Truth About Boba


I’ve been drinking boba for 10 or so years now, always suspecting it wasn’t good for me, but loving it too much to stop.  Recently, I found a few different sites which give the calorie content in milk tea boba. Lollicup’s 16 fl. oz boba is 440 calories. Oh no!!!!

Its Honey Green Tea (16 fl. oz) without boba is 181.6 calories:

Boba balls are reputed to have 7 -15 calories each!  Typically there are 20-30 or so balls per drink.  Adding milk is a no-no too:  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16540633/

Finally, be wary of high fructose corn syrup:
