Tag: Mountain dew vs sprite

According to the American Heart Association, many 12-ounce sodas exceed the recommended daily intake for added sugar. Given this, it's not surprising to wonder, 'what has more sugar, Sprite or Mountain Dew?'.

In a 12-ounce can, Mountain Dew contains 46 grams of sugar, significantly more than Sprite's 38 grams. So, is Mountain Dew or Sprite healthier? A closer look reveals that while both are high in sugar, Sprite is marginally the less detrimental choice due to its lack of caffeine and lower calorie count.
