Soft drink is the most popular sugary beverage
Medibank Better Health Index data reveals that soft drinks are the most popular sugary beverage, with the average person1 drinking more than five glasses per week. And with one regular 600ml bottle of soft drink containing 16 teaspoons of sugar, that's a lot of sugar.
