Mumbai: If gin and tonic is something you swear by, think twice. Just two glasses of your favourite drink could make to exceed the recommended daily sugar consumption limit, an investigation has found out, according to the Daily Mail.
The World Health Organisation advised adults to consume no more than six teaspoons (or 25grams) of sugar a day. One gin and tonic contains three-and-a-half half teaspoons of sugar. Meanwhile, small bottle of cider is high in sugar, but wine is low, according to the report.
The investigation, involving lab tests to measure the nutritional content of alcoholic drinks, has raised concerns about their hidden sugar levels.
