Sort Desciption: An analysis of the diets of more than 3,000 children published in
the January 2004 issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health shows a positive effect on children's
diets when kids choose flavored milks and yogurts instead of sodas and sweetened drinks.
Content Inside:
The study showed that children ages 6-17 who consumed more than 6-8 ounces of flavored
dairy products, such as milks, yogurts, ice creams and puddings, each day had a better diet than
those who regularly drank sodas and sweetened fruit drinks. Those consuming more flavored dairy
got more than two servings of dairy foods and took in more calcium, folate and iron, fewer added
sugars and less saturated fat overall than children who drank more than 16-25 ounces of sodas and
sweetened fruit drinks every day. The analysis also showed that only children ages 6-11 who did not
consume sodas and sweetened drinks got the recommended amount of calcium each day.
