The honest verdict
Is Pepsi Actually Healthy?
Pepsi runs slightly sweeter than Coke at 41g of sugar per can, with the same basic story: liquid sugar, no fiber or protein, easy to overconsume because it never registers as food. One can occasionally is a treat. One can daily is 15 pounds of sugar a year.
