How Many Teaspoons of Sugar Are There in a Can of Coke?

Did you know? A 12-oz. can of Coca-Cola Classic contains 41 g of sugars, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, or HSPH. A teaspoon is equivalent to 4.2 g of sugar, according to the HSPH. This means that a can of coke contains about 10 tsp. of sugar per can. The HSPH labels Coke as a drink that you should only consume sparingly and infrequently because of the relatively high sugar content.

 

 

A can of Coke also contains 146 calories from sugar, and these calories can really add up when you consume multiple cans per day. Twenty-oz. bottles of Coke contain even more sugar, so you're actually drinking close to 250 calories from sugar alone. These empty calories contain little or no nutritional value, so they often get stored as fat in your body.
