The cokes that I know have a little more than 40 kilo calories per 100ml, pretty level with apple- and orange juice, less than milk with 1,5% fat. 100ml or grams of coke contains less calories than the equal amount of blueberries, for instance.

That's what is so great about sites like yours. We can all help each other, and if there is something we are not aware of, someone else will share their thoughts and knowledge. Great site Al! I am looking forward to receiving your book, and my blender has come out of storage and has really been put through it's paces. See ya!

It's true – a lot of unscrupulous marketers are trying to take advantage of people who want to eat healthy by lying to us about their products. It's hard to discern what's real these days!

I figured you probably were already aware of this Al, but it just goes to show that we have to be vigilant even with products that are marketed to the health concious, because these manufacturers realize that there is money to be made. Indeed, we will even pay extra for items that we perceive to be better for us and that is incentive enough for the hucksters to get “Healthy”!!!

Thanks for addressing this, Perry. Someone else brought this concern to my attention as well recently. You'll notice that my more recent smoohtie recipes include honey instead of agave for this very reason.

You need to be careful with agave syrup since there are some that are made with the root of the plant instead of the top. This root is a starch and the process used is the same as sugar made from corn starch;AKA High fructose corn syrup. Real agave syrup is made from the top of the plant and is much more time consuming to make and therefore very expensive and hard to get. You are always better off staying with natural sweeteners, maple syrup, honey, fruit, and stevia.
