On the map of sweetest nations
A study that appeared in the scientific journal Plos One has produced a map of the world's non-alcoholic drinking habits.
It shows that the biggest guzzlers of sugary drinks are Trinidad and Tobago, where on average they drink 591ml of the beverage a day. South Africans, according to the research, drink 165ml, which is above the global average of 133ml.
But Karen Hofman, a professor in the Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Unit, feels this estimate might be low and says South Africans add a lot of sugar to other drinks, such as tea and coffee.
When it comes to fruit juice, the big drinkers are New Zealanders, who consume on average a glass a day. South Africa is slightly over the global average, drinking 35ml a day.
Hoffman warns that fruit juice, too, contains a high percentage of sugar.
Milk is most popular in the Nordic countries.
