    Here's how much sugar is in your favourite soft drinks

    Earlier this week, the World Health Organization issued a recommendation to increase the tax on sugary drinks to at least 20 per cent, as a way to reduce obesity and chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes. Red Bull Energy Drink contains 27 grams of sugar per can. Similarly, Rockstar Energy Drink also has 27 grams of sugar per can. While it’s regularly vilified for it’s high sugar content of 39 grams per can, Coca Cola doesn’t actually have the highest amount of sugar in this roundup.
