"The caveat here is that a lot of these beverages are loaded with sugar. A grande hot mocha, for example, has 35 grams of sugar. U.S. health sources have different recommendations for the amount of sugar people should consume per day. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says no more than 50 grams of added sugar, while the American Heart Association says men should have 36 grams or less of added sugar in a given day, and women should have 25 grams."
"Don't get me wrong - I don't mind sugar - but there are times when you may seek something lighter, for whatever reason. In those instances, I'd like to suggest snagging one of these sippers with under 10 grams of sugar. Yes, under. Technically, these are all 9 grams of sugar or less. I tried all of these options to see how they tasted and what they offer in terms of flavor."
Starbucks sells a wide range of beverages that often contain substantial amounts of sugar, with some drinks contributing a large portion of recommended daily added sugar. U.S. guidance includes the FDA limit of 50 grams of added sugar and AHA recommendations of 36 grams for men and 25 grams for women. Starbucks' nutritional labeling does not separate naturally occurring sugars from added syrups and sweeteners. Several menu items therefore deliver high added sugar totals, but a number of Starbucks beverages contain nine grams of sugar or less, providing lighter sweet options organized across espresso and tea categories.
