Sweet Enough Without the Sugar: The WHO’s Take on Healthy Drinks

Sweet Enough Without the Sugar: The WHO’s Take on Healthy Drinks

You’ve probably seen the buzz around our Shark Tank appearance, right? One of the sharks dropped a bomb about sugar content, saying,

“Din ka allowed 24gms sugar, WHO bolta hain, isme 25gms sugar hain. Mere pure din ka sugar ek bottle main khatam?” (The daily allowed sugar intake is 24gms, but this bottle contains 25gms of sugar. So, all the sugar for my entire day is finished in one bottle?)

It got us thinking, but here’s the thing – while we understand the concern, there’s a lot more to the story, and it’s time to clear the air.

Let’s talk about sugar, shall we?

The WHO’s sugar guidelines are more important now than ever, especially as we’re all navigating a world of sweet temptations. But guess what? We’re here to show you how you can enjoy a drink that’s sweet enough – without the added sugar.

What You Need to Know

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that added sugars should make up no more than 10% of your total daily energy intake. For an adult consuming around 2,000 calories a day, that’s roughly 24g of sugar. But here’s where it gets interesting: the key word here is added sugars. WHO’s guidelines are all about the sugar that’s artificially added to food and drinks – not the naturally occurring sugars you find in whole fruits and veggies.

For those of us watching our sugar intake, the big takeaway here is that WHO advises limiting foods and drinks that are artificially sweetened or packed with refined sugars. 

The recommendation is clear: avoid excess sugar – especially refined sugar, which adds little nutritional value.

When we say No Refined Sugar Juices or No Sugar Drinks, we mean it. Our products use the natural sweetness found in fruits and honey. We don’t add refined sugar, which is exactly why we proudly say that Utopian Drinks fit right within those WHO guidelines.

It’s simple: less processed, more pure. We stick to what nature provides, delivering the kind of drink that satisfies your cravings without spiking your sugar levels.

Why You Should Trust Us

But why should you trust us blindly? That’s why we offer transparency at every sip. We work with NABL-accredited labs to make sure our products are always up to the highest standards. Our lab reports are regularly tested and available for anyone to see on our website, where you can check for added or refined sugar in each bottle. No sugar-coated promises here – just pure, honest ingredients. We want you to feel confident with every sip, knowing exactly what’s in your drink. We believe trust starts with transparency.

If you’ve watched our Shark Tank episode, you know our founder, Shweta, talks about us being a Better-for-You product. But what does that really mean? It’s easy to think that all drinks are created equal, but we believe the truth is a little sweeter (pun intended). Our Better-for-You Drinks are a healthier alternative in a market full of sugary and artificially sweetened beverages. With No Refined Sugar Juices, we aim to give you a drink that not only tastes great but actually supports your well-being.

So, the next time you’re reaching for a drink, ask yourself: Is it Better-for-You? 

At Utopian Drinks, we’re making it easier for you to make the healthy choice with every sip. No added sugars, no gimmicks – just refreshing, natural sweetness. Here’s to better drinks, healthier choices, and total transparency!
