Key Characteristics

Nutritional & Health Considerations

Warnings/Concerns:

1. High Sugar Content:

   • A 200 mL can typically contains ~25–30g of sugar (equivalent to 6–7 teaspoons), which is ~50–60% of the WHO-recommended daily limit for adults (25g/day).
   • Excessive sugar intake is linked to obesity, diabetes, tooth decay, and metabolic syndrome.
   • Artificial sweeteners are not used in Aquarius (it uses sugar), so this is a health concern for regular consumers.

2. Acidity & Dental Health:

   • The phosphoric acid in sodas can erode tooth enamel over time, increasing the risk of cavities and tooth sensitivity.
   • Drinking through a straw may reduce enamel damage slightly.
