Summary
This green iced tea contains added sugars and fructose, which contribute to its caloric content without providing essential nutrients. The presence of natural flavoring, which can be highly processed, adds to the level of processing. However, the inclusion of green tea extract, known for its antioxidant properties, provides some health benefits, balancing the overall score.
