Best and Worst Holiday Foods


David Zinczenko, author of the Eat This, Not That! series of books, offers tips to help you make healthier food and drink choices this holiday season.

Champagne

Cocktails

Worst cocktail:
Gin and tonic (8 ounces)
240 calories
22 g sugars

Drink this instead:
Champagne
100 calories
5 g sugars

Before your raise your glass to good health, consider your own. The sad truth is that light-tasting tonic water contains as much sugar as two glazed doughnuts, making it nothing more than a glorified soda. Champagne is just as bubbly but contains only one-fourth of the sugar and half the calories.
