milk consumption is also being encouraged.

IMO they should just ban soda machines in schools. Nothing good comes of allowing it.

I would disagree with that. We were able to biy soft drinks in the school canteen, along with orange juice, flavored milk, and water. We didn't guzzle soft drink all day, we drank water and juice as well. Taking away soft drink machines punishes the responsible kids and panders to the fat kids who are too dumb to opt for a healthier alternative.

That is pretty much the make up of any thread you start.

There's plenty of reasons to hate the Obamas that have nothing to do with their race.

Maybe, but that is the number one reason in your book.

Anyway, I voted for Alan Keyes in 1996 when he ran for President.

By the way, he's black.

Concerns about rising childhood obesity and tooth decay...

Fruit Juice Consumption Discouraged for Young Children
May 22, 2017 - Children younger than one should drink breast milk or formula, and should only drink fruit juice if advised by a doctor, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The organization made the recommendation in the journal Pediatrics amid concerns about rising childhood obesity and tooth decay.

This is the first time since 2001 that the doctors' group has reviewed its recommendation on fruit juice, which is a leading source of dietary sugar. Between the ages of one and four, young children should consume no more than 118 milliliters of fruit juice, the doctors' group says. The academy recommends that children between the ages of four and six restrict their juice intake to no more than 177 milliliters a day, while children between seven and 18 should limit their fruit juice consumption to 236 milliliters.

The new guidelines recognize that 100 percent natural and reconstituted juice can be a healthy part of a child's diet. However, the group said juice should count for no more than one of the two to two-and-a-half recommended servings of fruit per day. If fruit juice is given to young children, the academy discourages parents from putting it in a bottle or "sippy" cup, which may be in a child's mouth all day, promoting cavities. Instead, it's recommended that the juice be consumed all at once in a cup.

The American Academy of Pediatrics revised its recommendation on fruit juice consumption for children in light of concerns about rising childhood obesity and tooth decay.

The group had previously recommended that parents wait until a child is six months old before introducing fruit juice to the diet. However, in light of the growing rates of obesity and other negative health effects, the American Academy of Pediatrics revisited the recommendation. Juice is a frequent beverage of choice among U.S. teenagers and children, who experts say would rather drink it than water.

Dr. Steven A. Abrams, chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas, and co-author of the policy statement, said there was nothing "magical" about the academy's revised recommendation. Dell said the group simply saw no need or beneficial role for juice in very young children.
