A 12-ounce can of Schweppes Ginger Ale contains 140 calories and 37 grams of sugar - that's a lot of sweetness! To put it into perspective, that's like eating a small candy bar or drinking a can of soda. And let's be real, who only drinks one can of ginger ale at a time?
The high sugar content is mostly due to the high fructose corn syrup used in the recipe. This type of sugar can be bad news for our bodies, leading to all sorts of problems like obesity and energy crashes. And if you're trying to watch your figure or manage your blood sugar, ginger ale might not be the best choice.
