Here's how much sugar is actually in some of the biggest drinks in the US as Americans revolt against beverage giants pushing sugar-packed products

As Americans ditch Coca-Cola and Pepsi's namesake colas, the chains are investing in lower-calorie options. Coca-Cola, for instance, revamped its Diet Coke lineup earlier this year and has found success with its zero-calorie Coke Zero brand.

Beyond colas, other soda options are also loaded with sugar. Instead, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are increasingly investing in bottled water and other healthier options.

While energy drinks may have a better reputation than soda, a Monster and Rockstar can pack in even more sugar in a can.

Tea is a major growth area in the beverage industry, with Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Starbucks all investing in tea brands. However, while unsweetened tea may be better for you, some sweetened options have more sugar than sodas.
