I picked up 24 oz “Green Tea” from the convenience store earlier. I forgot to check how sweet it was, 60g added sugars in the 706.8ml beverage. So this is like 8.5% sugar (g/ml). Obviously that’s napkin math but this is showerthoughts, not theydidthemath
What makes you consider this the real problem? I’m not sure why it would matter if your ingredients contains some hard to pronounce preservitant or emulsifier or whatever. There’s the whole nutrition facts label for learning the end effects of all those ingredients. But I don’t think most people read those either (mostly due to not caring – I do think the average person at least understands some of that label if they really wanted to pay attention to it).
If anything, I wonder if the nutrition info label is overly verbose. I think very few people care about every specific vitamin and mineral. I’d personally at least like to see high and low of the most important categories mentioned with emphasis. Eg, an “extremely high sugar” warning or “low calorie” emphasis.
