I was in the supermarket today with my daughter who proudly said that after the gym today she'd had a healthy Innocent fruit smoothie and as they were on the shelf in front of us she showed me which one. I had a look at the nutritional info on the bottle. The ingredients were all natural but I was pretty surprised to see that the 250ml bottle contained the equivalent of 29 grams of sugar! We then went and compared this to full fat coke which was slightly less at 27g for 250ml.
Apart from the fact that both contain horrendous amounts of sugar, are the fruit sugars in the smoothie any better (maybe I should say less bad!) for you than the added sugar in the coke, or is sugar sugar no matter what form it comes in?
