▲ High sugar can easily lead to obesity and cardiovascular disease. List of 27 “non-high sugar” paper-packaged drinks.
When the weather is hot, many people keep a lot of paper-packed drinks in their homes. However, these drinks contain a lot of sugar. Excessive consumption may lead to obesity, tooth decay, metabolic syndrome, and even increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. TOPick recently reviewed the common paper-packaged drinks on the market and compiled a list of 27 “non-high sugar” products.
According to the Centre for Food Safety, the definitions of “high sugar”, “low sugar” and “sugar free” in liquid food are as follows:
High sugar:Over 7.5g sugar per 100ml
Low sugar:No more than 5g sugar per 100ml
Sugar Free:No more than 0.5g sugar per 100ml
TOPick checked the nutrition labels of 43 paper-packaged drinks on the market and compared their sugar content, and found that 27 drinks contained no more than 7.5 grams of sugar per 100 ml, and some of the drinks were low-sugar or sugar-free.

According to the Center for Food Safety, sugar provides energy for the body. Eating too much sugar may lead to overweight, obesity and tooth decay.
According to the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO), the daily intake of sugar should account for less than 10% of the daily calorie intake. If it can be reduced to 5%, it is better for health. For children aged 2 to 3 years, they need to consume about 1,200 calories per day, or about 15 grams (3 teaspoons) or less.
A panel of experts from the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that children under the age of 2 should avoid “free sugars”, which are all monosaccharides and disaccharides added to food by manufacturers, cooks and consumers, as well as honey, syrup , sugars naturally found in fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates.
