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.
