Mineral Water: Loaded With Sugar

Just when you thought those fruit-flavored waters were good - check the results of this investigation:

Our investigation found Pret's Elderflower Pure Still Spring Water is the biggest offender with a massive 16.4 teaspoonfuls.

As a comparison we tested a bottle of Coca Cola which came in at 21.

The UK's bestselling flavoured water - Volvic's Touch of Fruit - contains 55 grams per litre, around 11 teaspoons.

Marks & Spencer's Mandarin and Cranberry drink has 10.

The colourless mineral waters boast of their 'natural' properties but the sugar content is often hidden on labels as 'carbohydrates'.

Make good food choices - we keep saying. But when manufacturers keep doing this sort of thing, it makes it very frustrating trying to make those "good" food choices.
