    A medium sized apple has 20 grams of sugar. It comes with other benefits that soda doesn’t, vitamins and fiber, but it still has a load of sugar in it.

      So an apple contains about half the sugar a can of coca cola does, and comes with various other benefits? You’re unlikely to eat two apples in a row, let alone eight or nine on top of having all three of your usual meals. But you could fairly easily drink an entire large bottle of coke throughout the day, which is exactly the problem.
