From 2008 to 2010, children's and teens' exposure to TV ads for full-calorie soda doubled.
An 8-ounce serving of a full-calorie fruit drink has 110 calories and 7 teaspoons of sugar - the same amount found in an 8-ounce serving of a full-calorie soda or energy drink. A 12-ounce can of full-calorie soda typically contains 10 and a ½ teaspoons of sugar.
