Sunrise exposes sugar content in soft drinks

Yesterday's Sunrise program on Channel 7 featured a segment which demonstrated that mini cans of Coca Cola, introduced 'to assist consumers with portion control', still contain 4 teaspoons of sugar, while a 2 litre bottle contains around 40 teaspoons.

The segment promoted drinking water or mineral water in preference to highly sugared drinks.
