I honestly think there shouldn't be sugared drinks. All my grandchildren drink water all through the day. I've just had them to stay, and at breakfast, they have water. They don't even know what sugary drinks are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't encourage kids to eat sugar, but I do it.
Taking in too much added sugar from highly marketed sugary foods and drinks displaces healthier foods in the diet.
Every man, woman and child consumes, on average, 43 teaspoons of sugar a day. In 13 days, that adds up to a five-pound bag of sugar.
Sugary drinks are blamed for increasing the rates of chronic disease and obesity in America. Yet efforts to reduce their consumption through taxes or other measures have gone nowhere. The beverage industry has spent millions defeating them.
If people try to cut sugar out completely, they often splurge later. That isn't a good idea.
I am a sugar freak.
My kids know there's no candy, no soda, until the weekend. Those are the days they get to indulge in their sweets. We're big on organic food. I'm not a diet guy; I don't believe in diets. I just believe in a great meal plan.
Sugar is more present in America or England than it is in France. I think there is an addiction to sweetness.
Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly.
Frankly, I don't trust any diet that doesn't allow sugar.
