Starbucks’ iced teas contain more sugar than THREE Krispy Kreme doughnuts

The NHS suggests adults keep their sugar intake below 30g a day, which is seven teaspoons.

Starbucks’ strawberry & lime tea and the tropical mango version also exceed 30g when going large.

Paul Evans, of the British Obesity Society, said: “This ­latest range shows Starbucks isn’t taking the battle against obesity seriously.

Packing up to 11 teaspoons of sugar in a single cup of tea is guaranteed to lead to health ­complications such as strokes, heart disease and diabetes.”
