The 10 Unhealthiest Beverages--Ever
Gals, you already know that a lot of sneaky calories come from beverages (which is why I always encourage people to keep an eye on what they're sipping--it can surprise you!). But this list of caloric and fattening beverages are so brazenly unhealthy, you will be shocked ...

(That's the sugar equivalent of 30 Chewy Chips Ahoy Cookies and the saturated fat equivalent of 68 strips of bacon--yowza!)
