I bought 2 x 2litre bottles of Dr Peper from the Spar local to work recently as I love the stuff and it was cheap (relatively), and have been steadily working away at it over the past few workdays. Only today did I notice the nutritional information on the side as I put the bottle down. The content wasn't a surprise in general, but the sugar......!!!!!!

One (standard, apparently) 150ml glass of the stuff contains 29% of an adult's recommended sugar intake for the day. So one 330ml can of the stuff contains ~60% of your recommended daily intake of sugar.

Oh my! I drank half of a 2l bottle of the stuff this afternoon. No wonder I feel like I've been smacked over the head with a shovel. It's a bit like a caffeine comedown but a lot less fun.

I think I'll forget the rest of the bottle and carry on with the water that's been doing me well for the past few months.
