Preschoolers plumping up on sugary drinks

Posted on Jun 27th 2007 9:47AM by Brian White
In what should come as no surprise to most, a new study shows that sweet drinks (aka, soft drinks and more) at snack time and right before bedtime are making preschool-age children fatter.

Should two to four year-olds even be drinking sugary drinks? That's a decision every parent will have to make for themselves, but with so much sugar in all of these drinks, it's probably not a good idea for anyone to drink them -- including toddlers.

When preschoolers drink these products, the Canadian study stated that they would be twice as likely to be overweight by age four-and-a-half. Nothing like going into preschool already overweight, huh?
