What's in Your Soda?

by Jaclyn Sullivan

Book Overview

Forget the desserts because sodas and other sugary drinks are the largest sources of added sugar in the diets of American children today. These drinks, low in nutrients and often high in calories, are thought by many to be one of the leading causes of our country's high obesity levels. This volume identifies soda's common ingredients, explores their origins, and reports on the health dangers that young readers might not be aware of. Healthy alternatives such as low fat milk and water are suggested along with ways to make these drinks enticing and fun.
