The Sugar Test
As Part of Operation Transformation, we are trying to become more aware of how much sugar is in the things we drink.
The children in room 13 estimated and then weighed the sugar contents of several drinks. We picked 5 drinks to investigate and we were surprised by some of the results.
We found that water was the most healthy with zero sugar.
A 750 ml bottle of Lucozade Sport contains 27grams of sugar.
A 355ml can of Cola contains around 31grams of sugar.
A 200ml pouch of Capri Sun contains 20 grams.
The most surprising of our results was the discovery that a 500ml bottle of Ribena contains as much as 53grams of sugar!
See our investigating and results below.

Thank you Miss Kelly and all of the girls in room 13. Very interesting research on the amount of sugar in some of our favourite drinks. Think I'll be sticking to water from now on! :-)
