Reporter Shih Chun-Mei reported that Tan Dun-Tzu pointed out that most commercially available hand-shaken drinks contain sugar, especially those made with acidic fruits like lemons. To neutralize the acidity, the added sugar content is even higher. For example, "Emerald Lemon" contains 15 sugar cubes. These added sugars can lead to obesity and chronic inflammation, increasing the risk of cancer, prompting the public to be particularly cautious when choosing hand-shaken drinks. Doctor Chen Huang-Kuang also stated that the sugar content in lemon drinks is usually higher than that of regular beverages, which subsequently increases health risks.

In Taipei, reports indicate that most commercially available hand-shaken drinks are high in sugar. Particularly when using acidic fruits like lemons, vendors add more sugar to neutralize the acidity. Tan Dun-ci mentioned that the drink "Emerald Lemon" requires the addition of 15 sugar cubes. With the rising awareness of health, the importance of reducing sugar intake for the body is increasingly emphasized.

Doctors also emphasize that in the production of lemon juice-based beverages, extra sugar must be added to mask the sour taste, which can more easily lead to health problems, including obesity and chronic inflammation, potentially leading to cancer. Tan Dun-ci pointed out in a health program that excessive added sugar has been proven to pose a threat to health, and one should be particularly cautious with lemon-based hand-shaken drinks.

According to her, "Duo Duo Green Tea" also contains 14 sugar cubes. She stressed that the sugar added in such drinks is far higher than that in regular hand-shaken beverages, thus the potential harm to health is also more serious.
