- I don't let my kid drink soda.
Wanna know why?
You think about what you're giving your kids to eat,
but do you think about
what you're giving your kids to drink?
All kids drink soda--
How bad could it be?
There are about 40 grams of sugar
in one 12-ounce soda can.
Let's see about how many teaspoons that equals.
One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine,
ten teaspoons of sugar
in just one can!
If your little ones drank one can of soda every day
over the course of one year,
they would eat over 30 pounds of sugar from soda alone.
The extra calories kids get from soda and other sugary drinks
can lead to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.
Maybe soda and other sugary drinks, like juice drinks,
aren't the way to go.
Next time, think about giving your kids
water or unsweetened milk instead.
