How much sugar is in soda?
Many of us drink soda. Let's face it, it tastes good! But have you ever wondered how much sugar is in that 12 ounce can?
Let's look at Coke. It has 39 grams of sugar per serving (1can). How do we convert grams to something we can measure? 4 grams is equal to 1 teaspoon.
So one 12 ounce can of Coke has almost 10 teaspoons of sugar!!
The daily recommended intake for sugar is only 10 teaspoons! We get enough sugar in the fruits, vegetables, breads, and other healthy foods we consume. Our bodies do not need that extra sugar. So with one Coke, we have blown our sugar allowance for the day!!
Keep checking back here and see how that sugar adds up if you only have one sugary drink per day!
