Why should you rethink your drink? • From 1989 to 2008, calories from sugary beverages increased by 60% in children ages 6 to 11. • Children and youth in the US average 224 calories per day from sugary beverages. • Beverages count for almost half (47%) of all added sugars consumed by US population. • One study found that for each additional 12-ounce soda children consumed each day, the odds of becoming obese increased by 60%. • Tennessee now has the highest rate of childhood obesity in the United States!

  4. Why are sugary drinks bad for you? • Can lead to weight gain • Do not contain essential nutrients that help you grow • Can cause cavities and tooth decay • Leads to a “sugar crash”- sugary drinks give you a short burst of energy and then make you feel tired or even grouchy • Increased heart disease risk and of developing Type 2 Diabetes • Can be addicting

  6. What’s in my drink • Look at the nutrition label when choosing a drink to see how much sugar it contains. Remember you should be having no more than 6 teaspoons (24 grams) of added sugar per day. • One teaspoon of sugar = 4 grams of sugar 

  7. What’s in my drink activity 0 grams ÷ 4 = 0 teaspoons

  10. What’s in my drink activity 34 grams ÷ 4 = 8 ½ teaspoons *100% orange juice has no added sugar and does contain vitamins and minerals. However, it still contains a high amount of sugar to be consuming in one drink. A better option is to eat an orange which contains all the same vitamins and minerals but has fiber and less sugar.
