SOME top-selling brands of flavoured mineral or spring water contain more sugar in a litre than there is in a Mars bar.
Fruit-flavoured waters marketed by Volvic, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Danone contain between 48g and 78g of sugar per litre — the equivalent of 10-15 teaspoons. A standard Mars bar contains less than 45g.
*
The mineral waters — which are colourless, boast of their “natural� properties and are often targeted at children — are rapidly growing in popularity as shoppers shun other “unhealthy� soft drinks such as Coca-Cola.
However, consumers may be unaware of the sugar content as the “nutritional analysis� on the bottle’s packaging often reveals only that the water contains “carbohydrates�. Sugar is a type of carbohydrate.
...
The bestselling flavoured water, Volvic’s Touch of Fruit, contains 55g of sugar per litre.
A senior executive at a rival soft drinks firm, which does not produce the waters, said the sugar content of the products “beggared belief�.
“When you buy Coca-Cola or something similar you know it contains sugar,� he said. “But, with these products, consumers think they are buying a healthy bottle of water with a squeeze of fruit, but they are actually purchasing a highly sweetened and flavoured soft drink disguised as water.�
