According to the American Heart Association, a typical 12-ounce can of soda can contain more added sugar than the total recommended daily limit for most adults. When comparing a standard 12-ounce can of Coke to other sodas, the sugar content is often surprisingly similar, with minor variations between brands.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a single 12-ounce can of regular soda contains about 39 grams of sugar. That amount is a staggering 9.75 teaspoons of sugar, a figure that significantly exceeds the daily recommended limit for most adults.
