Don Julio Blanco Tequila — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Don Julio Blanco Tequila by Tequila TREAT — score 45/90.
Alcohol is the primary health concern here. A clean-looking two-ingredient list doesn't change the fact that ethanol is empty calories and a recognized carcinogen.
Why this verdict
- Alcohol (~40% ABV) is the main health concern — empty calories and a Group 1 carcinogen
- Distilled spirit, so no fiber, protein, or nutrients to offset the ethanol
- Added fructose contributes pure sugar with no nutritional benefit
- Simple list keeps it out of DUMP territory, but alcohol means it's a TREAT at best
Ingredients (2)
- Blue agave (distilled) (moderate) — The fermented and distilled agave is the source of the ethanol — the alcohol itself is the health concern, not the plant.
- fructose (moderate) — Added sugar that swaps in for table sugar. Doesn't spike blood glucose the same way, but it's metabolized by the liver and the spread still totals ~55g sugar per 100g.
