What if we could make one community and parental change to help turn things around? Experts say that sugary drinks are the largest single source of added sugar in our children's diets and a major source of excess calories. Over the last decade, the variety of sugary drinks has exploded. Kids' drinks of the past like low-fat milk and water (or juice cut in half with water, like my mom used to serve) have been replaced by sodas, fake juices, sports drinks, energy drinks, vitamin-flavored waters and sweetened teas. Just one serving of a typical sugary drink contains more added sugar than is recommended over the course of an entire day for a 4-to-8-year-old boy or a 4-to-13-year-old girl.
