We hate to ruin your festive cheer, but it turns out that ordering a pint of caramel-flavored hot chocolate topped with whipped cream may not actually be that good for you.
That's the fairly unsurprising finding of a British survey that warns of the high sugar content of festive hot drinks offered by chains including Starbucks and Costa Coffee.It found that Starbucks' venti-sized Signature Caramel Hot Chocolate with whipped cream and oat milk contains the equivalent of 23 teaspoons of sugar, and 758 calories. Venti cups are 20 ounces .
Action on Sugar, the group behind the study, is calling on the UK's next government to extend its soft drinks industry levy to sugary milk drinks.The government announced the new levy in 2016 as part of an effort to reduce childhood obesity, projecting that it would raise £520 million in additional revenue. Its introduction had an immediate effect, with several leading soft drinks brands lowering their sugar content.
