Sugary Drinks

We were really surprised this morning when Jen came in and did a 'Sugary Drinks' session with our class. We didn't know how much sugar was contained in some of the drinks that we sometimes drink. Some of the drinks also contained caffeine which can cause your heart to speed up.

Some of the things we found out were:

In an 800ml bottle of e2 there are 20 tsp of sugar.




In a 600ml bottle of coke there are 16 tsp of sugar.

In a 750ml bottle of Powerade there are 14 tsp sugar.

In a can of Mother there are 13 tsp of sugar.

In a can of fizzy drink there are 10 tsp of sugar.

In a 250ml can of V there are 7 tsp of sugar.

In a 750ml flavoured water there are 5 tsp of sugar.

In juice sachets there are 4 tsp of sugar per glass.

In trim milk there are 2 tsp of natural sugar but it is still a good drink because it contains calcium.

In water there are ZERO tsp of sugar.

Therefore our best options to drink are water or milk!
