In 2017, a surprising statistic was revealed by The Independent. It reported that in a single pot of Quaker Oats So Simple’s golden syrup instant porridge that the U.K. consumes, there are over four teaspoons of sugar. This amount is equal to half the amount of recommended sugar intake of an adult in a day.  

Moreover, these high levels of sugar can be detrimental to any individual suffering from type 2 diabetes. However, if you remain wary, it is easy to handle these issues. You can opt for the “original” flavor of Quaker’s instant oatmeal range, which does not contain any added sugar.
