Do you have a source for that? I saw this article, and I know it’s not a great source, but it suggests that the US doesn’t even have the sugariest drinks. I couldn’t find a link to the original study, although I’m on my phone so I haven’t looked a lot.
And…it can be important to understand the specific nutritional content of things we put in our bodies and not think of it as a binary between “health food” and “everything else.” Otherwise if I’m not drinking water I might as well just drink kerosene, right?
There are also cultural and socioeconomic things to understand around how different industries operate around the world and how different globally-available products differ in different markets. Like how Pizza Hut in Japan offers a pizza with mayo and diced potatoes.
Sodas in the US have about 6 - 7 times the amount of sugar as the rest of the world.
US coca cola has about 10.8g of sugar per 100ml, while european has 10.6g.
The big difference is serving size.
For example a small soda at McDonalds in the US has more content than a large in Japan.
False.

And? It’s fuckin’ soda, nobody goes in expecting health food.
