Your customers may not acknowledge the prevalence of sugar in different products. To counteract this, you might need to create special beer and wine labels to accurately quantify exactly how much sugar is in a product for consumers.
An article in the Telegraph recently looked at the amount of sugar in many different popular alcoholic drinks, compared to the amount of sugar recommended by the World Health Organization, which has been adjusted to six teaspoons.
In a special study conducted just for the source, the Telegraph looked at the amount of sugar found in one serving of several common drinks. By far the highest sugar content belonged to Bulmer's cider, which has 5 teaspoons in every bottle.
The source quoted the nutrition professor behind the study, Paula Moynihan, on ways to consumers can avoid taking in too much sugar without realizing it. The danger is that this could accumulate over time and pass by without the beverage drinker's knowledge.
"If you do drink, opting for drier varieties of drinks such as wine and cider, and mixing spirits with sugar-free as opposed to standard mixers will help limit sugars intake," she said.
Sugar continues to be a target of criticism for health activists, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette featured a recent article about the work of Dr. Robert Lustig who has become famous for his condemnation of sugar. He goes even further, saying that it's "unhealthy in any form."
Just because you aren't legally required to display how much of certain additives are in your product doesn't mean there isn't a good reason to use color label printing to do so.
