How sugar content of our favourite fizzy drinks varies wildly around the world: Top brands found to contain up to SEVEN teaspoons more in some countries
- Action on Sugar tested the levels of 274 sugar-sweetened soft drinks
- It found Sprite in Thailand had the most sugar of any 330ml can at 47g
- Schweppes Tonic Water in the U.S. and the UK had the biggest difference
- World Health organisation recommends just 25g – six teaspoons – per day
- Can of Coke in both the UK and the US contains 9 teaspoons of sugar
Cans of Coke and other top brand fizzy drinks contain wildly differing amounts of sugar – depending on where they are sold in the world.
Tests found some leading-name drinks had more than double the sugar content of their equivalents bought in other countries.
In some cases, the difference was as much as six teaspoons – the recommended amount for an adult to consume in an entire day.
The research on popular drinks, including Dr Pepper and Fanta, was collected by Action on Sugar.
The UK campaign group is demanding that big brands take urgent steps to cut the amount of sugar in soft drinks.
Tests carried out by Action on Sugar have revealed the countries where popular fizzy drinks have the highest and the lowest sugar contents
Sprite in Thailand fared worst overall with a staggering 12 teaspoons of sugar in one 330ml can.
This was compared to five teaspoons in countries including the Netherlands and France.
The same serving of Schweppes Tonic Water had 11 teaspoons of sugar in the USA versus just four in the UK.
Of the 274 sugar-sweetened soft drinks tested, researchers found every single product would get a red colour coded label – to indicate the dangerously high levels.
Health campaigners, who compiled the figures, warned that adults and children are consuming huge quantities of hidden sugar in processed food and drink, fuelling obesity and poor health.
By 2030, an estimated 2.16 billion people worldwide will be overweight and, of these, 1.12 billion will be classed as obese.
The World Health Organisation recommends people should cut their sugar intake to a maximum of 25g a day, or six teaspoons, and that a reduction to below five per cent of total energy intake would have ‘additional benefits’.
Overall, four out of the seven drinks with the highest sugar content were in North America or Canada, while Europe had the lowest sugar content.
Drinking a can of Coke in Canada will give you 10 teaspoons of sugar whereas Thailand had the joint lowest of eight teaspoons (the UK and US both contained nine).
Meanwhile, a Japanese or Kuwaiti Pepsi was found to have 10 teaspoons while one bought in the US, Serbia or Germany was slightly less at nine teaspoons.
A drink of Fanta in Ireland, Argentina or the UK had six teaspoons of sugar whereas one produced in India contained almost double.
Action on Sugar said the companies have shown it is possible to have lower sugar levels in some countries and it called for this reduction to be applied to all their products, regardless of where they are sold.
It said sugar-sweetened soft drinks were linked to the escalating worldwide obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemic.

Favourite fizzy drinks, like Coca-Cola and Sprite, were found to have completely different levels of sugar, depending on where they were produced in the world
Nutritionist at Action on Sugar, Kawther Hashem, said people were ‘drinking spoonfuls of sugar’ in their carbonated drinks and recommended people check the labels before switching to a no added sugar variety of drink, or water.
She said: ‘It is high time soft drinks manufacturers around the world stop adding unnecessary sugars and calories to their products and work universally to set sugar reduction targets once and for all.
‘Our research has shown discrepancies between the sugar content in the same carbonated drinks sold across the world and this needs to stop.’
Graham MacGregor, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Queen Mary University, said: ‘Overweight and obesity increases health-care costs and threatens the economic growth on which a country’s future prosperity and wellbeing depend.
‘This survey illustrates the fact that the soft drinks industry is part of the cause of the world’s growing obesity pandemic and action must be taken now.’
Gavin Partington, director general of the British Soft Drinks Association, said UK manufacturers were ‘leading the way’ in cutting calories and reducing the sugar in their products.
He said: ‘Through new product development, reformulation and increased availability of smaller pack sizes the soft drinks category has reduced sugar by more than 8 per cent in just 3 years.
‘The majority of soft drinks now sold in the UK are low and no calorie including nearly half of all carbonated drinks.’

Asda’s £3.50 Wonky Veg Box Lets You ‘Feed Your Family For A Week’
This is a great start but farmers are forced to discard about 48% of everything they grow just because it doesn’t look right.
Article: www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/05/asda-launches-wonky-veg-box_n_9166774.html
Asda has launched the UK’s first ever ‘wonky veg box’ which lets shoppers buy imperfect vegetables in bulk to feed their families.
The box will cost £3.50 and the supermarket claims it will enable a family of four to eat healthily for an entire week.
It comes filled with seasonal vegetables and salad items including carrots, potatoes, peppers, cucumber, cabbage, leeks, parsnips and onions.
The vegetables are sold at a reduced price because they are either misshapen or have cracks in them and, as a result, customers may take longer to peel and prepare them.
Many people have praised the move, saying that it will encourage families to eat healthier while cutting food waste.
Mum-of-three and blogger Hazel Newhouse bought a wonky box from her local Asda and said she’s “really impressed” by it.
“It weighs 5kgs and is loaded with vegetables including two medium-sized cabbages, one huge parsnip, four leeks, a handful of carrots and then lots of little onions and potatoes, with a few larger ones that would be good for jacket potatoes,” Newhouse told HuffPost UK Lifestyle. “It also comes with a leaflet about food waste.
“I think with clever planning, it would last my family for an entire week – and there are five of us.”
Hazel said she believes the boxes will definitely encourage other families to eat better.
“Plus it makes it more fun for the kids as they can look at the funny shapes of the vegetables in the box,” she said. “Although a lot of the time they’re not even that misshapen.”
There was one issue though – the box was tucked away, out of sight, at the back of the vegetable aisle.
“I would like to see them nearer to the front door so families can spot them easily,” she said.
Charlotte Stirling-Reed is a nutritionist from SR Nutrition. She said launching the wonky box was “a fantastic move from Asda”.
“It works on so many levels, including helping people to understand that there is nothing wrong with imperfect-looking food,” she explained.
“It could help increase the UK’s vegetable consumption – something that public health professionals are constantly trying to achieve.
“Even more importantly, it allows people who are on a tight budget to access more vegetables and gives them more freedom to experiment with veggies in the kitchen, without the risk of wasting too much money.
“From a nutritional perspective this could help improve fibre and nutrient intakes, especially in low income households, who often have the lowest intakes of fruit and veg.”
She continued: “It’s also great for reducing food waste, an issue that has been quite rightly highlighted as something we need to work on in the UK, especially where supermarkets are concerned.
“I hope more supermarkets follow suite and start selling wonky vegetable boxes!”
Asda first started selling imperfect fruit and vegetables last January, as part of a move backed by chef Jamie Oliver and farmer Jimmy Doherty.
Ian Harrison, Asda’s technical produce director, said: “Our shoppers absolutely love wonky fruit and veg and we’ve seen sales steadily increase over the last year.”
Their new wonky box, which contains produce mostly sourced from Watts Farms, will go on sale in 128 stores across England.

Not just flooding but our whole environment is improved
www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-35777927
Tree planting ‘can reduce flooding’
By Roger Harrabin BBC environment analyst
Planting trees around rivers could reduce the height of flooding in towns by up to 20%, new research suggests.
A study for the Environment Agency concludes that trees round a feeder stream can slow the rush of rainwater and save properties from flooding.
But it warns that natural flood prevention methods do not always work.
And it urges a strategic approach because foresting a whole catchment would be counter-productive.
The report – from the universities of Birmingham and Southampton – says that with increased building on flood plains and climate change increasing the risk of heavy rain, many places can’t be completely protected by walls of concrete.
There has been a rush of interest in natural methods – planting trees and creating leaky dams which attempt to delay the flow of water by creating mini-floods upstream.
But the report’s authors suggest that most successful natural methods are likely to be on a much larger scale than currently in operation.
They advise a strategic approach – taking a tributary stream to a main river then foresting the area round it, allowing the stream to make its own meanders, and letting dead wood from the forest to block the stream where it will.
A drop of up to 20% in flood maximum can be achieved by doing this over 25-40% of the main catchment, they say.
That is because the forested area will release its water to the main stream later than water running off pastureland.
Re-wilding
Proponents of “re-wilding” suggest turning a whole catchment to forests. But the authors say this would not work because all the water would be released at the same time.
They say the strategic approach will be challenging because of the numbers of landowners involved in tackling the catchment of a whole tributary stream.
New incentives may need to be found for farmers, who currently get EU grants for keeping land as pasture and clearing scrub and trees.
Simon Dixon from Birmingham University Institute for Forest Research told BBC News: “Where its possible to do more extensive planting than we’re doing we really need to do it. It’s a bit of a no-brainer.”
He said that foresting even 10-15% of a catchment could prevent some flooding.
Ben Lukey, a flood risk manager for the Environment Agency, said there were insufficient funds to attempt the scale of works proposed in this report, although recent changes in grants might help.
“What’s identified is opportunity for bigger impact with more strategic catchment but we have to be mindful of the possibility that if it’s not done well it could make matters worse.
“To make the scale of changes to help a big city like Leeds for Manchester – that’s a scale of ambition that would take sometime to come to pass.”
The environment select committee will produce a report on flood management soon.
Floods minister Rory Stewart said the government was spending more than ever to protect communities and tree planting had a role to play along with improved defences and dredging.
