Health experts warn against viral TikTok custom drinks due to serious risks

A doctor and two nutritionists are warning about the health risks of viral custom drink orders on TikTok. One popular drink, containing over 1,000 calories and excessive sugar, has raised concerns about blood sugar spikes and long-term health issues. The drink, posted by a Dunkin' Donuts employee, includes ingredients like 12 teaspoons of sugar and 17 pumps of syrup. Similar drinks from other TikTok accounts also feature high sugar and calorie counts, prompting health experts to caution against regular consumption. Experts emphasize that these sugary drinks can lead to serious health problems, including obesity and diabetes. They recommend limiting such beverages to rare treats rather than regular choices.
