Think Coca Cola is full of sugar? Your cup of COFFEE is way worse
We normally hear about the dangers of drinking a can of coke everyday, and generally, fizzy drinks are a big no-no because of their high sugar content.
But now, as it turns out our cup of high street coffee is waaaay worse. Three times worse, in fact.
A charity called Action on Sugar performed an analysis on 131 hot flavoured drinks from various coffee shops you'd see on the high street.
They found that 98 percent of the drinks tested would receive a red label for nutritional value since the content of sugar is so high.
The drink with the highest sugar content is Starbuck's venti hot mulled fruit with grape, chai orange and cinnamon. While this drink might make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, it has a shocking 25 spoons of sugar in it.
A Starbuck's venti white chocolate mocha with cream has 18 spoons, while a regular hot chocolate has 15 spoons of sugar.
Costa cafe isn't much better, with an average of 9 spoons of sugar in each drink – the same as a can of Coke.
Graham MacGregor, the chairman of Action on Sugar, commented: "This is another example of the scandalous amount of sugar added to our food and drink. No wonder we have the highest rates of obesity in Europe."
So it might be time to stop your habit of that daily latte. Sorry, ladies…
