Growing healthy bodies Is really important. Today we had Ann which is a nurse Come in an talk to us about sugar and growing healthy bodies. She brang along a couple of drinks when she got them out she picked two people to sort them out to healthiest to unhealthiness drinks. Which most of us thought that they were right. but then we got into groups and she put 5 bottles on a couple of desks and we all had to see what the sugar level was for per serving. I was surprised that the calcium strong chocolate milk was 5.7 so like 6 teaspoons of sugar. Out of all the drink the most sugar was in the E2 Sports drink which was 18.7 which is really bad and the lowest of course was pump water because it has none at all I was also quite surprised that the flavoured lemon water had 4.25 of sugar in it.
1.Did you know that You would have to run a marathon to burn of sugar from coke and other fizzy drinks
2.Did you know that if you put the amount of sugar they put in a fizzy drink and you put it in a class of water you wouldn't be able to drink it because it would be to sweet which is why they put Acidity regulator and citric acid in the drink to unsweeten the sugar so they pretty much hide the fact that there is so much sugar in it
Ka pai Katelin. It was interesting to hear how some companies add an acidity regulator into the drinks to hide how sweet it is. Perhaps we should experiment with some sugar and water to see if what Anne said was indeed true. Do you think you could drink a glass of water with 15 teaspoons of sugar in it?
