Why They Don’t Drink the Water, Kids Jazzed on Energy Drinks

When I was a young girl it was an exciting time when I could add chocolate or Ovaltine  to my milk. That was a pretty simple time. Today, the number of sugary drink options my children have is absolutely astounding. According to a recent study by Yale’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, there are now 600 products to choose from. They range from full-calorie sodas, sports drinks, vitamin water drinks, flavored waters, fruit drinks to the fairly new option of “energy” drinks.
