How Much Sugar Does Your Drink Contain?

Do you look at the label of drinks before purchasing them?

You should. The amount of sugar in many of our drinks is far more than we should consume in a day.

From sports drinks to fruit juices, the sugar adds up.

According to Yale University, active teen girls should have no more than 10 teaspoons of sugar a day and teen boys no more than 16 teaspoons. But some commercially available beverages have more than 16 teaspoons of sugar in a single can or bottle.
