  1. 01How Much Sugar Is in Our Drinks?

    Hello, everyone. Most of us know that cake and candy have a lot of sugar. But what about the drinks we buy every day? Today, I'll look at the numbers.

    皆さん、こんにちは。ケーキやお菓子に砂糖がたくさん入っていることは、ほとんどの人が知っています。でも、毎日買う飲み物はどうでしょうか?今日は、数字を見ていきます。

  2. 02What the WHO Recommends

    According to the World Health Organization, adults should get less than ten percent of their daily energy from free sugars, which include sugar added to food and drinks. Even better is about five percent, which is around twenty-five grams, or six teaspoons, a day.

    世界保健機関(WHO)によると、大人は、1日のエネルギーのうち、食べ物や飲み物に加えられた砂糖などの遊離糖類からとる分を10%未満にすべきです。さらに良いのは約5%で、これは1日約25グラム、小さじ6杯ほどです。

  3. 03One Can of Cola

    Now compare that with a regular can of cola. One three-hundred-thirty milliliter can contains about thirty-five grams of sugar. That's more than the ideal amount for a whole day.

    では、ふつうの缶のコーラと比べてみましょう。330ミリリットルの缶1本には、約35グラムの砂糖が入っています。それだけで、1日分の理想の量を超えてしまいます。

  4. 04My Label Check

    I wanted to see more, so I went to the store near my home and checked the labels of five popular drinks. The results surprised me.

    もっと知りたくなって、家の近くのお店に行き、人気の飲み物5本の表示を確かめてみました。結果には驚きました。

  5. 05What I Noticed

    What I noticed is that drinks that look healthy, like juice and sports drinks, can have a lot of sugar. Only the tea and water had zero.

    気づいたのは、ジュースやスポーツドリンクのように健康的に見える飲み物にも、砂糖がたくさん入っていることがあるということです。砂糖がゼロだったのは、お茶と水だけでした。

  6. 06Easy Changes

    Here are some easy changes. Read the label before you buy, choose water or tea more often, and if you want a sweet drink, try a smaller size.

    簡単にできる変化を紹介します。買う前に表示を読むこと、水やお茶を選ぶ回数を増やすこと、そして甘い飲み物が欲しいときは、小さいサイズにしてみることです。

  7. 07Conclusion

    To sum up, one drink can contain more sugar than we need in a day. Next time you're thirsty, take a few seconds to check the label. Thank you.

    まとめると、1本の飲み物に、1日に必要な量より多くの砂糖が入っていることがあります。次にのどがかわいたら、数秒だけ時間をとって、表示を確かめてみてください。ありがとうございました。
