10 Popular Foods and Drinks High in Sugar
Iced tea
Like coffee, iced tea is another drink that tastes great and is very popular, especially in hot, summer days. But with great taste comes a load of sugar, mainly from the syrup used to sweeten the iced tea.
340 ml of commercial iced tea provide around 35 grams of sugar, similar to a can of Coke. Which means, that instead of getting a refreshing, summer drink, you get an insulin spike.
Captain’s tip: Make your own iced tea at home with high-quality tea, lemon, honey and fruits of your choice.
