sugar packets in the USA typically contain 2-4 grams of sugar, if you
figure 3 grams per packet and 39 grams per can of coke, that means you
have just given your child 13 sugar packets to consume. most parents
would not give their child a sugar packet to snack on, but 13 in a can
of coke doesn't even raise an eyebrow.
the point being, sugar is literally toxic, just like alcohol, a little
is ok but a lot will kill you, more than 1 can of coke a day will kill
you, google 'dr lustig sugar' to see a very educational video with way
too much science behind it, if Soda companies had to pay for all the diabetes
and heart disease they cause, they would be beyond bankrupt.
