The Health and Wellness Center held a “Rethink Your Drink” talk about daily sugar intake for curious students in Johnson Hall on Monday afternoon.
The event was directed by Carrie Gerencher, Lehigh’s registered on-campus dietitian, who began by handing out a prompt where the audience was asked to rank the products on the list from the most amount of sugar to the least amount.
Gerencher said that one Rockstar energy drink contains about 16 teaspoons of sugar, while the one serving of Fruit Loops contains only four teaspoons.
“I was pretty shocked by that because I originally thought it was just a sugary kids’ cereal,” Gerencher said.
“How much added sweeteners, including sugar, do you think the average American consumes a year?” Gerencher challenged the audience.
The answer, she said, is over 100 pounds per year, which adds up to about a quarter pound each day.
“Americans consume about 130 pounds of sugar a year, which is about 765 grams of sugar every five days,” Gerencher said. “In 1822, people consumed about 45 grams every five days. Maybe that’s why they were so skinny.”
Sugary drinks add up and play a huge role in diet and nutrition, Gerencher said. Even Vitamin Water has 35 grams, or nine teaspoons, of sugar per serving. She explained that a serving size of such drinks is about eight ounces.
“Most bottles, when you go out or get a soda with a meal, are two-plus servings,” she said.
Gerencher also explained how there is hidden sugar in most beverages that
