SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Dr Pepper Actually Healthy?
A can of Dr Pepper carries 40g of sugar, about ten teaspoons, with nothing else nutritionally on the label. The famous 23 flavors are doing flavor work, not health work. As an occasional treat it's fine; as a daily default it's one of the easiest 150 calories to reclaim.
