Beverages in South Korea with dalgona and brown sugar, popular among the young generation, were found to have excessive levels of sweet substances.
A study by the Seoul Metropolitan Government on 35 dalgona and 40 local brown sugar beverages revealed that the average sugar content in a 282-gram brown sugar drink reached 34.8 grams, accounting for over 33 percent of the recommended daily sugar consumption.
One dalgona drink contains an average of 32.5 grams of sugar.
According to the city government, the amount of sugar in one cup of their two kinds of drinks is equivalent to 11-12 sugar cubes, which is more than that in other sweet drinks.
An iced vanilla latte was found to have 25 grams of sugar in one cup.
The city government will recommend that companies notify consumers of sugar levels and diversify the size of beverages.
