‘Dangerously’ high sugar content in many hot flavoured drinks, says Action on Sugar Posted: 17 February 2016 | | No comments yet New research from Action on Sugar shows that 98% of 131 cofffee chain hot flavoured drinks would receive a ‘red’ label for excessive levels of sugars per serving as sold… Campaign group Action on Sugar is today warning of the dangerously high sugar content of certain hot beverages found in many high street coffee shop chains. New research from Action on Sugar shows that 98% of the 131 hot flavoured drinks analysed would receive a ‘red’ label for excessive levels of sugars per serving as sold. What’s more, 35% of the hot flavoured drinks contain the same amount or more sugars than Coca Cola, which contains 9 teaspoons of sugar per can. The worst offender identified by the research is the Starbuck’s Hot Mulled Fruit – Grape with Chai, Orange and Cinnamon Venti (extra-large) – a mix of chai and fruit concentrate, topped with a cinnamon stick and a slice of orange – which contains 25 teaspoons of sugar, followed by Costa Coffee’s Chai Latte (large) with 20 teaspoons of sugar. Interestingly, a Starbuck’s Hot Mulled Fruit – Grape with Chai, Orange and Cinnamon Tall (medium) has almost half the amount of sugar than the larger sized cup (13 vs 25 tsp). From the entire out-of-home hot drinks surveyed, 55% contain the equivalent, or more than, the maximum daily recommended amount of sugars for an adult and teenager. When it comes to hot drinks that are perceived to be ‘healthy’, a Starbuck’s Chai Tea Latte Venti (extra-large) contains 13 teaspoons of sugar per serving alongside Eat’s Chai Latte Big and Matcha Latte Big at 11 teaspoons. Starbucks sells two sizes larger than a typical medium serving size of 340ml, at 454ml & 568ml – adding to the sugar intake in many of its hot flavoured drinks. These serving sizes are much larger than those offered by its competitors. Action on Sugar says it is time coffee chains stopped serving extra-large cups of sugar-laden hot drinks. Kawther Hashem, Registered Nutritionist and Researcher for Action on Sugar, commented: “Coffee shop chains must immediately reduce the amount of sugar in these hot drinks, improve their labelling and stop selling the extra-large serving sizes. “These hot flavoured drinks should be an occasional treat, not an ‘everyday’ drink. They are laden with an unbelievable amount sugar and calories and are often accompanied by a high sugar and fat snack. It is not surprising that we have the highest rate of obesity in Europe. Our advice to consumers is to have a plain hot drink or ask for your drink to contain a minimal amount of syrup, preferably sugar free, in the smallest serving size available.” A Starbucks spokesperson said: “Earlier this year we committed to reduce added sugar in our indulgent drinks by 25% by the end of 2020. We also offer a wide variety of lighter options, sugar-free syrups and sugar-free natural sweetener and we display all nutritional information in-store and online.”

Volite piti kave “TO GO”? Evo koliko su nezdrave Kava je zdrava i ima blagotvoran učinak na organizam ako se konzumira u preporučenim količinama od nekih četiri šalice dnevno, no može biti i uzrok debljanja. Naime, britanska nevladina organizacija Action on Sugar uznemirila je duhove u Velikoj Britaniji upozorivši da poznati lanci komercijaliziranih kafeterija svojim kupcima nude tople napitke među kojima ih trećina sadrži između 20 i 25 malih žlica šećera, što je više i od količine od devet žličica sadržanih u limenci Coca-Cole. Analiziravši 131 proizvod iz Starbucksa, Costa Coffee, KFC-a, Caffe Nera i Leona ustanovili su da se opasno visoke količine šećera nalaze u 98 posto testiranih toplih napitaka. Pokazalo se da je najteži “prijestupnik” Starbucksov napitak koji se prodaje pod primamljivim talijansko-indijskim nazivom “venti Grape with Chai, Orange and Cinnamon Hot Mulled Fruit”, a riječ je o gotovo šest decilitara toplog napitka od jakog crnog indijskog čaja s cimetom i drugim aromatičnim začinima uz dodatak narančina soka, koji sadrži čak 25 malih žlica šećera, kako prenosi “Independent”. Costin “massimo Eat-in Chai Latte” – slična količina crnog čaja sa začinima i pjenušavim mlijekom sadrži ih 20, Starbucksovih šest decilitara kave s bijelom čokoladom i šlagom 18, KFC-ova velika “Moccha” 15, a u neslavnom ih rekordu sustiže i relativno nov trendovski lanac kafeterija Leon, čija šalica vruće čokolade ima “samo” četiri male žlice šećera. “Ovakvi bi se napici trebali konzumirati povremeno, poput slastica, i ne bi smjeli postati svakodnevna praksa među mladima koji se najčešće odlučuju za ‘extra large’ napitak prepun kalorija i šećera, obično upotpunjen kaloričnim, masnim ili zašećerenim obrokom”, upozorila je Kawther Hashem iz Action on Sugar, koja je sudjelovala u istraživanju, provedenom samo nekoliko tjedana prije nego što će britanska vlada objaviti strategiju borbe protiv pretilosti kod djece. Glasnogovornica Starbucksa za “Independent” je rekla da je tvrtka početkom godine donijela odluku o smanjenju šećera u svojim napitcima za 25 posto – do kraja 2020. Istaknula je da se kupcima nude i manje kalorični i zašećereni proizvodi te da su nutritivne vrijednosti jasno istaknute i navedene u kafeterijama, kao i na internetskim stranicama. Sličan je odgovor dala i voditeljica komunikacija Coste, dodavši da je tvrtka “već poduzela značajne korake u smanjenju šećera u napicima”. No ako uistinu želite nezašećerenu kavu ili topli napitak s manje šećera, začina, sirupa i ostalih dodataka, jednostavno zaobiđite trendi kafeteriju u središtu grada i popijte je u svom kvartovskom kafiću, kako savjetuje “Telegraph” te dodaje da vam ondje vjerojatno na kartonskoj čaši neće pogrešno napisati ime, a velika je mogućnost i da vam napitak bude poslužen u keramičkoj ili porculanskoj šalici.
