The honest verdict

Is Twizzlers Strawberry Twists Actually Healthy?

Four Twizzlers deliver 19g of sugar and 160 calories of what is essentially sweetened wheat paste; even the strawberry is a flavor, not a fruit. They're low-fat, which the label wears proudly, but low-fat candy is still candy. The twist-and-chew habit itself transfers cleanly to better numbers.
