People drinking a slurpee or slushie to cool down in the summer heat could be sucking down an entire week's worth of sugar in a single sitting, health agencies warn. They're cold, cheap and tempting but frozen sugary drinks can contain up to 30 teaspoons of sugar. Health agencies warn that people drinking a slushie could be slurping down an entire week’s worth of sugar. The alliance also recommends a 20 per cent levy on sugary drinks.
