What is the Nutritional Content of One Can of Coca-Cola?

A 250ml can of Coca-Cola contains 27 grams of sugar and 27 grams of carbohydrates. This amount adheres to the company's general rule of 10.6 grams of sugar per 100ml of Coca-Cola, as cited on its website.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a maximum daily sugar intake of 50 grams for adults. The amount of sugar in Coca-Cola, exceeding half of this limit, can make this beverage harmful if consumed too frequently.

Coca-Cola also contains 0.015 grams of sodium in the same serving size, but contains no protein or fat. This beverage consists of several components, including carbonated water, sugar, caramel color, cola concentrate, phosphoric acid, and caffeine.

Due to this content, Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo removed two bottles of Coca-Cola from the press conference table before the match against Hungary in the European Championship on Monday, June 14, 2021. He preferred plain water, which is better for health.

Ronaldo's action resulted in a drop in Coca-Cola's share price. According to *The Guardian*, the value fell to US$55.22 per share from US$56.10 per share.
