26g/100ml is a lot but not that high. A European coke has about 10.6g, energy drinks around 15g, while smoothies and natural juices can go up to 20g.
Twice the amount of sugar of some of the most sugary and damaging drinks available does seem like a lot to me. And about juice, at least some of that is fructose if the juice is actually fruit. This pure refined sugar.
Absolutely true, but I would kind of guess that an actual drink would have a lower sugar content than what is essentially a liquid dessert (for 4 people). Nutella for example is around 50% sugar
You misread the number of grams in the milkshake, I think.
I used the number the previous commentator used. I've now converted the 32 fl.oz (I figure it's US fl.oz.) to Liter, which is 0.96l so I guess the actual content would be something like 28g/100ml which is not that far off my previous statement of 26g/100ml.
Which to clarify is something like 20% sugar content when taking the average density of water and substracting a bit to make up for the higher density of a milk shake.
With the amount of fat in it I'd think the density would be lower than water
Maybe I should have looked that up forst, I kind of figured that since the viscosity of the drink would be lower the density would be higher
Oh I totally missed that. Thanks for clarifying!
