WHO estimates that the rate of overweight or obesity among children under the age of five will increase from 6.7% in 2010 to 9.1% in 2020. Excessive sugar intake is an important factor of overweight in young children. So, if parents drink 'Zero sugar' cola to their children, is there no risk of obesity?
Nutritionists believe that in terms of caloric intake, 'Zero sugar' Cola uses sugar substitutes. It does not have calories and will not gain weight in theory. However, drinking too much cola will absorb too much phosphorus, affect the pH of blood, affect the growth rate of bones, and even lead to bone loss.
In addition, if a child is used to drinking coke and drinks should be sweet, it is difficult to ask him to drink water in the future. Moreover, his taste becomes sweet, and other foods will also eat sweet, so as to increase his calorie and sugar intake.
Parents should try their best to give their children clean water and drink less coke or other sugary drinks. Even fruit juice should be controlled. Drinking too much pure fruit juice has the opportunity to increase calories and sugar, resulting in overweight.
