Over 40% of adults in the US use artificial sweeteners, but for many, these additives are a concern. Finding a commercial squash that does not have artificial sweeteners can be challenging, as they are often used to replace sugar in 'no added sugar' versions. However, a growing number of companies are offering naturally sweetened alternatives, and making your own is also a great option.

According to the British Heart Foundation, a glass of cordial or squash made with added sugar can contain around 3 teaspoons of sugar. The total amount can vary dramatically, so understanding how much sugar is in lemon squash requires looking at different product types, from standard cordial to 'no added sugar' versions and homemade recipes.
