Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The man who turns fizzy drinks into big lollipops
In order to avoid the risks of obesity and tooth decay, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that adults should eat no more than 50 grams of sugar, or 12 teaspoons per day. To stay healthy, it also advises to limit sugar intake to less than 25 grams, or 5% of the daily energy intake.
You don’t have to worry about sugar intake so much unless you drink coffee or tea with spoonfuls of sugar each time or eat sugary dessert after every meal, which doesn’t seem to apply to many nowadays.
But what about soft drinks? How much sugar does a can of soft drink contain?
An artist in New Zealand shows you the amount of sugar contained in soft drinks not by numbers or charts but in visual art.
Enjoy seeing the amount of sugar in pops.
