Why is strongbow cider so tasty but so fattening????

Question

I drink strongbow cider as my favoured tipple, but why is it so tasty? i know it is fattening like beer but i can't make myself choose wine instead when I drink.... I think it is just too yummy! I want to choose something less fattening when I drink that is similar?

Answer 1

Well, never had strongbow, guessing you are in the UK... but cider is sweetened by sugar or apple juice concentrate usually, so thats probably why its so tasty (working on brewing my own now)

simmilar?  you could check if they have some that are artificially sweetened, which some drinks are starting to.  they are still fermented apple juice, but instead of adding sugar or more apple stuff to sweeten it, they use splenda or some other sweetener.

you could consider a dryer cider, and then adding your own artifical sweetener before consuming (splenda/nutrasweet/stevia)

Answer 2

SOO MUCH SUGAR.  Lose the sugar tooth or drink drinks with fake sugar (barcadi diet coke...anything diet soda).  

Never drink a long island ice tea...nothing is more fattening.
