Reporter Shi Chunmei reported that Tan Duncai pointed out that most commercially available hand-shaken drinks have excessive sugar content, especially those containing acidic fruits like lemon. In order to neutralize the acidity, businesses add more sugar. For example, a cup of "Jade Lemon" contains 15 sugar cubes. Excessive sugar intake not only leads to obesity but may also trigger chronic inflammation and health issues such as cancer.

In order to neutralize the sour taste, vendors often add a considerable amount of sugar; for example, a "Jade Lemon" drink requires the use of 15 sugar cubes.

With the rising awareness of health, the threat of sugar to health has gradually become a point of concern. Doctors have mentioned that when choosing lemon juice drinks, they usually contain more sugar during the production process, which can not only lead to obesity but may also cause chronic inflammation; in severe cases, it could even lead to cancer.

Senior nurse Tam Dun-Tsz at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital emphasized in a health program that added sugar is considered a killer of health. The sugar content in commercially available hand-shaken drinks is generally high, especially in drinks made with acidic fruits like lemons, which require a large amount of sugar to balance the sourness; therefore, consumers should be particularly cautious when making selections.

In terms of sugar content in commercial hand-shaken drinks, a cup of "Jade Lemon" contains 15 sugar cubes, followed by "DuoDuo Green Tea," which also requires 14 sugar cubes. Excessive added sugar not only leads to weight gain but may also trigger chronic inflammation, further resulting in various chronic diseases, even cancer.

Medical experts point out that any hand-shaken drink made with acidic fruits like lemons typically has higher added sugar content during its production compared to other regular beverages, making the sweet and sour taste of these drinks pose a greater threat to health.
