Did you know that the average person consumes 72kg of sugar every year?

If you think you’re different, ask yourself how many soft drinks you consume on a daily basis?

Just one can of soft drink contains on average 39 grams of sugar.
If you don’t know how much 1 gram of sugar looks like, 1 teaspoon of sugar is equal to 4 grams of sugar.

Which means that 1 can of soft drink contains 10 teaspoons of sugar or a quarter of a cup of sugar!

If you drink 1 soft drink a day that amounts to 90 cups of sugar a year just from sugar.

Which is a total of 56,940 calories.

Just to let you know – 1kg of bodyfat stores 7.700 calories.

Enjoy your next can!
