According to https://www.usdairy.com/news-articles/how-much-sugar-is-in-m...

Milk Sugar Content (per 8 oz. serving): 24 grams sugar (12 grams natural sugar, 12 grams added sugar)

According to https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/food-types/how-does-su...:

    Adults should have no more than 30g of free sugars a day,
    (roughly equivalent to 7 sugar cubes).

    Children aged 7 to 10 should have no more than 24g
    of free sugars a day (6 sugar cubes).

So one small carton they have at school has 30% of an adult's daily intake of added sugar.

What's your point? What does that have anything to do with the comment you're responding to?

My point is that no, chocolate milk isn't healthy at all.

But that wasn't your point at all. You said:

> As for chicolate milk: there's probably as much added sugar in it as in a can of Cola.

Your own follow-up comment proved this to be false. No need to dig in further.

My point is in this comment I originally posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46537927

And then my point was about the huge amount of added sugars.
