Today we have information about some not-so-praise statistics. Some time ago, sugar in carbonated drinks, its content and concentration was tested. Norway was unfortunately at the top of this list. Norwegian carbonated drinks are “packed” with sugar and unhealthy ingredients. A new report shows that Norwegian Sprite has five times more sugar than Austrian Sprite. We appeal for caution when making purchases - our health and that of our loved ones is the most important. What else do we know from the report's results? What conclusions can be drawn from it?
