Seeing the levels of current drinks that have high sugar, of course, many netizens are worried and afraid to eat sweet food or drinks.

“It’s also good that I don’t buy Starbucks. Apart from being able to maintain my health, I don’t have the money to buy it either,” commented @putt **.

“Meanwhile, the daily sugar requirement is only 37.5 grams, not to mention the sugar content of rice,” continued @hum**.

Quoting nutritional information from several products, some of these drinks actually have the same data as in the video. like the 330 ml can of Pocari Sweat Soft Drink for example. The size of the sugar is indeed 20 grams per 330 ml. Meanwhile, for Coca-Cola the size of a 250 ml can, the sugar content is 27 grams.

But what is difficult to prove is the content of Starbucks or Chatime drinks. Because on their official website they only display the number of calories, but there is no detailed information about the sugar content per serving.

Health experts also recommend limiting daily sugar intake from packaged drinks or sweet drinks. This is detrimental to health in various aspects, including disrupting the health of teeth, joints and brain.
