A Bottle Of Cola Has 39 Grams Of Sugar, I’ve been talking about sugar and all its variations for the last two weeks, and pointing out that sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial sweeteners are not good for health.

I’ve even pointed out that there are questions about stevia, the natural herbal sugar.

So now the question is: how much sugar do you eat?

I’m going to show it in pictures. In the following pictures, each sugar cube shown is 4 grams. The cubes are stacked, and the more sugar, the bigger the stack.

If, for example, the picture shows 10 sugar cubes, that means that eating that food is equal to eating 10 cubes of sugar.

Brad Pitt Coca-Cola

Brad Pitt Coca-Cola, BRAD Pitt has copped a spray after admitting he wakes his young kids up with cans of Coke for breakfast.

The Hollywood actor said he and partner Angelina Jolie sometimes use the highly caffeinated, sugar-laden soft drink to kick-start their young tribe of children in order to maintain their hectic, jet-setting lifestyles.

Melbourne dietitians have urged parents not to follow the influential movie star’s parenting tips after Pitt confessed to an interviewer on Inside the Actor’s Studio: “Listen, I admit there’s times like, ‘We gotta get up. Get up! Here’s your shoes. Here’s your shoes. Drink this Coke. Drink this Coca Cola. Drink it all. Right now! Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!’ Just so we can get ’em up and going.”

Dietitians Association of Australia spokeswoman Lisa Renn said Pitt was sending a dangerous message to other parents with his comments and putting his own children’s health at risk with his Coke-for-breakfast quick-fix.
