Last month,calls were made to raise the taxes for sugary drinks. This shows growing worry over the amount of sugar that kids are taking in through cola,juices and other beverages(饮料),a new study has found that one in five children did not drink any water on a given day﹣and that those kids took in more calories(卡路里)from sweetened beverages than kids who did drink water.
The study surveyed on 8,400 children across the country between the ages of 2 and 19. Researchers found that around 20 percent of children are reported drinking no water throughout the day. And they took in almost twice as many calories than kids who did drink some water. Overall,the children drank 132 calories of colas and other sugary beverages per day. That number dropped to 112 calories if they drank any water. But kids who didn't drink any water at all took in an average of 210 calories from sweetened drinks.
This can cause a lot of problems. "Those calories don't provide much nutrition (营养) and they can add up," according to professor Asher,sugary drinks have been linked to a number of diseases,such as childhood obesity,dental problems and high cholesterol. "I've seen 6﹣year﹣olds with high cholesterol and teenagers with Type 2 diabetes," said Natalie
"Kids should take in water every single day,and the first beverage choice for kids should be water," according to Natalie. "Because if they're not drinking water,like sugar﹣sweetened beverages,that are less healthy and have more calories. " Adults should take up their responsibility to encourage kids to drink water so that they don't take in something less healthful. And things need to be done to ensure childhood health.
