2 claims here are waiting on a clinician:

H12The Rethink Sugary Drink figures.
H14Six teaspoons a day is the ADA's number, not the WHO's — and it is free sugar, not added sugar.Confirmed by the clinicians on 7 September 2026: The figure stays the Australian Dental Association's. "Sugar is the key word. Don't worry about added or free. Sugar is sugar", so the class hears one word and the teacher note keeps the exact noun for the attribution.
H154 grams of sugar is one teaspoon — and the poster it comes from rounds.Confirmed by the clinicians on 7 September 2026: Confirmed as built: grams divided by four, rounded to the nearest whole. The caption now discloses the difference from the poster as well as the method.
H27Flavoured milk's 59 grams is total sugars, and part of it is lactose.
