Take that, red bull bonces!!!
That is a lot of sugar, but to be fair, go to your local convenience store (if you're in the US) and look at the back of just about any drink for sale aside from bottled water and you'll be hard pressed to find drinks that aren't just as bad.
As someone who grew up avoiding sugar and having to look at the back of everything this would have been relatively low in sugar compared to other products sold in that same store in my area. In the South of the US you would have a hard time finding something lower than sprite and or tea(~35g)without alternative synthetic sweeteners like aspertain and sucralose or just water and those options used to be sparce. A lot of times a convenience store would only have diet coke, unsweet tea, or water unless I was okay with 30+ grams of sugar. I'm not saying that it's okay to have that much sugar, but it definitely seems far out of the way from some of the much lower hanging fruit. For example even Gatorade and Powerade have more sugar per package unit and those were available via vending machines IN the school. Also, pretty much every fast-food drink station makes you choose between water, unsweetened tea, or something with almost 50g of sugar when in a can.
Looks like my bowl of sugar cubes for breakfast is back on the table.
39 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Coke.
Wait why are you not drinking red bull zero
This is still less sugar than the chocolate milk cartons they serve in American schools.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I hate both lol
Coca cola and Dr Pepper both have 40g sugar in a can
I thought that the sugar industry worked really hard to ensure they didn't have to show a daily % amount on the right across from the grams listing. I have never seen a % there before. Crazy.
"Nah im not tired or insomniac i just love consuming 3 cans of bull piss every single day it tastes just good"
The slogan, "RedBull gives you Wings" needs an asterisk. It only applies to those who are grated into heaven after they die of diabeetus
As a caffeine source, I would argue the bigger problem is a missed opportunity to get the phytonutrients in coffee or tea. For most people, their daily coffee might very well be the only source of polyphenols they get that day.
Could be worse I guess, coca cola has about 50g or so in a can
On another note, I hate how all drinks add more sugar than needed. I usually use only 10g to sweeten my milk tea, but every canned drink is 30 to 50g
Omfg, this whole comment section is actually infuriating. Y'all motherfuckers need jesus Liam
Aspartame is fine, sugar won't hurt you. Just drink in moderation, and you're golden.
Stop spreading FUD.
actually according to their website it's 27g of sugars. What I found even funnier (or worse) though is this
Makes it look like RB has less sugar than juice, but we're comparing 100ml of the bull to 250ml of juice. FFS
Drink the zero sugar version. Problem solved.
I mean, diabetes also gives you wings?
This is why I only drink the six foot tall monster screw top cans. I'm so much healthier than those red bull peons.
It's the same as any soda. Around 10% of the drink like coca cola or Pepsi.
