12 oz. can of soda has same calories as 10 tsp. of sugar.

I quote from this article "Let's Subtract 'Added Sugar' from our Diets" by Michael Waldholz.

"A 12 oz. can of soda that is mostly water and fructose syrup contains the same calories as 10 tsp. of sugar. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer group, has named soda, aka "liquid candy", public-health enemy no. 1.

Some researchers say repeated exposures to high-fructose corn syrup may be especially dangerous as it is more readily converted into fat than other sugars. Unlike other sugars, fructose doesn't trigger the release of insulin, which controls sugar consumption by telling the brain to send out a feeling of fullness."
