Growing Healthy Bodies.

This term for our topic we have been working on growing healthy bodies, today we had a special vist from ex nurse (Anne), She was really helpful and told us all about how much sugar is in some drinks. I was really suprised about how much sugar is in coke. Down below are some examples of how many grams and how many t-spoons.


Growing healthy bodies.

Do we know what's in the bottles.
  • drinks (lot’s of sugar)
  • Coke= rotten teeth, fat, you have to run a marathon to burn off all the sugar and acid.
  • Acid+sugar= rotten Teeth.

  1. Lift+ (59 grams of sugar)= 14.7 tsp
  2. V8 Veggie juice (27 grams of sugar)=6.7 tsp
  3. Pump flavour water (17 grams)=4.25 tsp
  4. V pure (29.2 grams of sugar)=7.2 tsp
  5. V energy drink (53 grams of sugar)=13.25 tsp
  6. Sprite (25 grams of sugar) =6.2 tsp
  7. Coke (64 grams) 16 tsp
Anne made us arrange all the drinks into an order that we thought was most healthy to least healthy. This was at the start.
This was at the end.

  1. Ka pai Honor. It was interesting to hear that Coca Cola put an acidity regulator into their drink so that we dont notice how sweet it actually is. What is your favorite drink Honor? I like water the best for sure :)
