Several years ago I was addicted to coca-cola, drinking daily even 2L - I probably exceeded the daily recommended amount of sugar 4 or 5 times. Since then I've drastically reduced sugar in my diet and luckily I never had a problem with weight, but I wonder what'll be the long-term effects of intaking so much sugar for such long time. The scary thing, now that I check the ingredients of everything I buy, is how much sugar is there in the majority of products, even in those advertised as "healthy".
- cmrdporcupine 11y agoI had a roommate who was quite large and used to drink at least one 2L of cola a day. He cut it out and went on a weight loss diet and vigorous exercise and lost around 100 pounds. But I gotta think a huge part of that was just the insane amount of excess calories in the pop. Still admire the degree of dedication he put into his lifestyle change tho.
- gman2093 11y agoThere are 212 grams of sugar in a 2L of coke. According to the World Health Organization recommendation of 25g/day or fewer, that would clock in at about 8.5 times the recommended maximum. So yeah, coke has lots of sugar, even twice as much as you guessed.
