However, it is also important to continue spreading the message that soft drinks are not good water sources, even after pre-schoolers have outgrown infancy, as an increasing consumption of soft drinks is noticeable when they get older (2,11,12) . Analyses by gender showed only limited differences in quality of the chosen beverages.…”

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [2003][2004][2005][2006] in the USA revealed that soft drinks and fruit drinks were the two main sources of added sugar in children and adolescents (13) .…”
