The Take
Lemonade scores 71 slop. Bottled versions deliver cane sugar or HFCS first, followed by water, lemon concentrate, and flavor additives.
The wholesome marketing hides liquid candy that spikes blood sugar without protein, fiber, or real nutrition.
The Verdict
Skip the bottle. Buy actual lemons and raw honey to control the sugar and skip the additive list.
Slop Score: 71.
