Study finds many juices 'more sugary than coke'

Well-meaning parents who would not dream of giving their children Coca-Cola might instead be packing their lunchboxes with juices that are even more sugary, a health group has warned.

Action on Sugar surveyed more than 200 juices, smoothies and fruit drinks to find that more than a quarter contained the same level of sugar or more as Coca-Cola, which has 10.6g for every 100ml.
