How much sugar is in your drink?
A 330 ml can of Coca-Cola holds about 35 g of sugar — nearly 9 sugar cubes, and more than a woman's entire daily added-sugar budget under AHA guidelines. Pick any drink below to see its sugar stacked up as cubes. Grams are abstract; a pile of cubes is not.
All values are approximate — recipes vary by country and brand. Check the label on your bottle. Juice and milk drinks count natural sugars too; your body processes free sugars in juice much like added sugar.
Where the numbers come from
Values are approximations of total sugar per serving, based on typical manufacturer nutrition labels; recipes vary by country and brand, so treat them as honest ballparks and check your own label. I count 1 sugar cube as 4 g and 1 teaspoon as 4.2 g. The daily-budget comparison uses the American Heart Association limit of 25 g of added sugar for women (36 g for men); the WHO recommends staying under 10% of daily calories, ideally 5% (about 25 g).
