For the past 15 years, the Asian drink boba tea, also known as bubble tea, has been extremely popular across the U.S.
“Growing up in the San Gabriel Valley, boba was very affordable. I had it every day,” said Scott Chan, program manager at the Asian and Pacific Islander Obesity Prevention Alliance (APIOPA).
Health experts warned that boba can be just as unhealthy as soda. A 12-ounce serving of boba can contain about 90 grams of sugar, 7 grams of fat and 490 calories.
