Experiment Mondays - SUGAR in our drinks


The actual limit of sugar for children is 3 to 4 teaspoons during the preschool and early years, and between 5 and 8 teaspoons during the tween and teen years.






We tested how much sugar is in popular drinks and this is what we found out


V

Mizone

E2

Powerade

Pulpy Orange Juice










4 teaspoons in Mizone water


20 teaspoons in the orange juice



7 teaspoons in the V


15 teaspoons in the E2


12 teaspoons in Powerade




It was shocking to find out that 3 out of 5 of these drinks contain more than the total daily amount of sugar we should be consuming.
