It was commonly believed that water was the most hydrating drink. However, a recent discovery has shown that sodas, like Coca-Cola, which Kendall Jenner enjoys, are not the drinks with the most sugar. Unfortunately, many people regularly drink sodas or sugary drinks, which taste great but contain way too much sugar. The Gentside site allows you to find out how many sugar cubes each drink contains and to become aware of the health risks.
Coca-Cola comes in 5th position with 7 sugar cubes. And this, behind its eternal rival Pepsi (4th position). Oasis is in 10th place with 6.4 sugar cubes, Red Bull in 13th place with 5.5 sugar cubes. And the Schweppes Agrum’ is in 18th place with 4.17 sugar cubes. What are the sodas that occupy the first places in the ranking?
Two drinks were ranked on the podium
According to a study by the ICCR, a Canadian academic organization published in 2016, sugary drinks are one of the main sources of added sugar in our diet. Indeed, the Tropico drink contains the equivalent of 7.9 sugar cubes. The Monster drink comes in just ahead with the equivalent of 8.4 sugar cubes and the Nestea leads with 9 sugar cubes.
Although these figures are alarming, it should be remembered that the World Health Organization recommends not to exceed 10% of our daily sugar intake. For a person consuming 2000 kilocalories per day, this corresponds to 50 grams of sugar per day. However, to be healthy, the limit is even set at 25 grams. Therefore, a single drink can exceed this recommended dose, which can have a negative impact on health.
Bubble tea, on the other hand, can contain up to 15 sugar cubes. Which is therefore well beyond these limits. Unfortunately, many people, especially young adults, rave about it. To reduce sugar consumption, it is therefore necessary to limit the consumption of sugary drinks. And above all, give preference to water or healthier alternatives such as drinks made from fresh fruit or herbal teas. It’s also important to read beverage labels carefully for their sugar content and make informed choices to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
