The Sweet Truth: Sugar, Wellness, and the Benefits of SodaStream

In today’s world, sugar is everywhere—hidden in our favourite beverages, snacks, and even so-called "healthy" drinks. While a little sweetness in life is great, too much sugar can take a toll on our health.

One of the biggest culprits? Sugary soft drinks. A classic 320ml can of Coca-Cola Classic contains 34g of sugar—equivalent to 8.5 teaspoons—exceeding the recommended daily intake for added sugars in just one drink. Compare this to SodaStream’s Classic Cola Drink Mix, which contains only 13.8g of sugar per 320ml serving—a nearly 60% reduction in sugar without compromising on taste or fizz. That’s a huge difference for anyone looking to make smarter beverage choices while still enjoying their favorite sodas.

Stats and Facts: How Much Sugar is in Your Favourite Soft Drinks?

If you’re wondering how your go-to soft drinks measure up, here’s a breakdown of some of the most popular beverages in Singapore and their sugar content:

Real Stories: How SodaStream Transformed Lives & Its Benefits

A Mother’s Healthier Hydration Journey

Steven, a SodaStream customer, bought a SodaStream machine for his mother, who has diabetes and struggles to drink plain water.

“She never liked drinking plain water, but she always loved soft drinks, which made managing her sugar levels and diabetes difficult. When I got her a SodaStream, she finally started drinking more fluids—whether it was sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or the zero-sugar diet cola mix, it was a game-changer for her hydration and her health!”

“SodaStream Saved My Life”

Another customer, Jason, shared how SodaStream helped him break an expensive and unhealthy habit.

“I used to drink a lot of beer—almost daily—because I loved the fizzy sensation. But I realized it wasn’t really about the alcohol; it was about the bubbles. When I switched to SodaStream, I got that same satisfaction without the calories, the hangovers, or the health risks. I’ve saved around $500 a month on alcohol and medication. Safe to say, SodaStream literally saved my life.”
