The cafes serving drinks with 25 teaspoons of sugar per cup - Coca-Cola getting in too now Millions of Britons are putting their health at risk by ordering hot chocolate and other trendy chai drinks that contain staggering amounts of sugar – up to 25 teaspoons – in just one serving. Action on Sugar found that 98% of the 131 hot flavoured drinks found in the big high street chains would carry a “red” warning for excessive levels of sugar if the coffee shops were forced to label them. The campaign group named Starbucks’s Hot Mulled Fruit (grape with chai, orange and cinnamon venti) as the worst offender. At 25 teaspoons of sugar it contains more than three times the recommended maximum adult daily intake. Not new news but now Coca-Cola also wants to branch out into "coffee" - see http://ift.tt/2bFz6w6 See the cafes surveyed at http://ift.tt/20K4uZ7
