         Adults aren’t the only ones who have to keep track of liquid calories, children do too, especially if they are prone to weight problems. Parents should be monitoring (as best they can) the amount of pop and sugary drinks kids intake each day, and that includes fruit juice as well. An Australian study puts the spotlight on this issue. According to research from Deakin University in Melbourne, children who drink more than two glasses of fruit juice per day are more likely to be overweight or obese than those who did not. And you thought a fruit alternative was healthier than a soft drink? “Fruit drinks, fruit juices and fruit cordials can also be bad for children's long-term health,” Researcher Dr. Andrea Sanigorski says. Eating raw fruits and veggies at school and at home is the answer to better overall health in kids. There’s nothing wrong with a little fruit juice as long as it isn’t overly sweetened. Look for 100% real juice and read the label. Sorry kids, Sunny Delight does not make the cut.
