When we think of soft drinks and sugary drinks, the same or the same brands always come to mind. For example, Coca-Cola, Fanta, Pepsi, etc. And they are nothing more than a mixture of sugars, water and marketing, a lot marketing.
However, few people are unaware that there are more sugary drinks that are hidden among the best known, therefore, here we present them and make you a little breakdown of amounts of sugar that they have so that the next time you want not to have a coke and an aquarius, you know what you are consuming.
We'll see now a few examples of drinks that you would not associate as very sugary drinks but that actually have too many, as well as other components that are not healthy for our body.
Tonic Schweppes
The tonic is not related to a sweet taste, for this reason, people think that it will not have much sugar in its composition. This is wrong, despite its bitter taste what it really contains is water, sugar, glucose syrup and fructose and in total it contains 8'4 g of sugars per 100 ml.
The tonic is sold alone, especially if it is from a brand known as Schweppes, which accompanies its advertising with this slogan: "100% ingredients of natural origin.
Bitter Kas
A somewhat forgotten drink that will never die, it is a lifelong drink that is usually taken for an aperitif, ideal to accompany it with a lemon wedge to add an acid touch and to serve as an accompaniment to that bitterness.
This drink is composed of carbonated water, glucose syrup and fructose, that is, 8'1 g of added sugarss. All these sugars are accompanied by a market reference to sell it better: «aperitif based on natural plant extracts».
Nordic crap
Another tonic variant that contains the same as the Schweppes tonic. Carbonated water, sugar and glucose and fructose syrup. Although it must be emphasized that it has more sugar than its companion, 9 g per 4 ml.
Nestor
Although they try to sell us the image that having a cold tea is healthier than a soft drink, we must bear in mind that Nestea has 7'7 g of sugar for its 100 ml. Nothing healthy.
Aquarius
A drink designed for athletes that is composed of essential nutrients to recover all physical wear and tear. Water, sugar is what it takes the most, with 6'3 g of sugar for its 100 ml and almost 8 g of sugar if we opt for the orange flavor version.
We will put aside the energy drinks because those are so scary that it is better not to know what they are wearing, better to decide to stop taking them. We must bear in mind that all the components shown in the tables that we see in the products speak of measures of 100 ml, for this reason, to know how much sugar is what we are consuming we must multiply by the number of ml that can contains.
