DANGERS OF PEPSI,FANTA,COKE,OTHER DRINKS NAD SNACKS

The sugary drinks and snacks that you can't even have ONE of without breaching new guidelines on daily intake

  • Experts say maximum of six teaspoons of sugar per day would be ideal figure for adults who want to stay healthy
  • World Health Organisation recommendation slashed in half from equivalent of about 12 level teaspoons a day
  • This guideline amount has been cut to tackle obesity and heart disease amid fears sugar is as deadly as tobacco
  • Action on Sugar compile list showing single items broken down by the number of teaspoons of sugar they contain
Sugar levels: Action on Sugar has compiled a list showing how many teaspoons of sugar many foods and drinks have. The World Health Organisation has recommended adults have no more than six teaspoons per day to tackle obesity and other health problems.

 The apparent dangers of taking in a lot of fanciful drinks and snacks have been outlined by experts once again. according to the experts, these drinks, meals and snacks contain up to double the safe amount of sugar that 
experts believe adults should consume per day and as a result are quite dangerous for human consumption and over all health.
in the findings, the health watches revealed that a single Starbucks caramel frappuccino has 11 teaspoons of sugar and a can of Coca-Cola or Pepsi has nine teaspoons, 

in view of this, just this week the World Health Organisation recommended people should have no more than six teaspoons of sugar in 24 hours.
Doctors say this rule is key to avoiding obesity, heart disease and other serious illnesses because they fear sugar is as dangerous as tobacco.

the research also revealed that many single products take up the new recommended allowance. that for example a 51g Mars Bar has eight teaspoons, a can of Red Bull has seven, a Muller strawberry shortcake Crunch Corner has six teaspoons and so does an Innocent smoothie.
that is why adults have been told should halve their average intake to six teaspoons a day - slashed dramatically amid fears that sugar poses the same threat to health as tobacco.

moreover experts blame it for millions of premature deaths across the world every year.
Graham MacGregor, a London cardiologist and health campaigner, said: ‘Added sugar is a completely unnecessary part of our diets, contributing to obesity, type II diabetes and tooth decay.

The UN’s World Health Organisation said the crisis was being fuelled by hidden sugar in processed food and drink such as yoghurts, muesli, sauces, fizzy drinks, juice and smoothies.
Last night it published the draft guidelines urging adults to eat no more than 12 teaspoons of sugar a day and to aim for six.
And it said children should try for less than six teaspoons and avoid cans of fizzy drink such as Coke, which contains seven spoons.
Francesco Branca, director for nutrition for health and development at WHO, said: ‘Obesity affects half a billion people in the world and it is on the rise.
