Sugary drinks are everywhere.
Sugary drinks are everywhere. Pop, fruit punch, energy drinks, sports drinks and many other drinks have a lot of sugar.
Too much sugar is not good for a child’s health. The extra calories in sugary drinks can add up quickly. This puts children at higher risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer.
Together, we can drop the pop, drink water, offer better options, and create communities that sip less sugar.
Join the movement Ice casino online! Contribute to healthier children and a healthier community.
