I was horrified the first time somebody showed me - I will not mention the product - the content of a particular drink and the equivalent amount of sugar. I think I was 11 or 12 years old when somebody showed it to me. People had no idea but that has all changed now, at least for some of these products. They have all gone sugar free but I distinctly remember that. I think this falls within the area of the Department of Health.
