But soda drinking starts at an early age for most people unlike alchol. It appalls me that parents would even think about giving their children soda. It makes no sense as to why they would damage their childrens health. But of course most of them are uniformed(ignorant) because no good parent would give their child soda if they knew all the long term consequences it has. Especially the parents that buy the big 64oz bottles for 1 dinner. Yuck!

Soda was a Saturday only treat when I was a kid. Kool-Aid was not, though. Turns out that Kool-Aid was only marginally healthier than soda, and I still drink Kool-Aid, too. Oops.

Anyway, kids are eventually going to get exposed to unhealthy food. As kids get older, parents have less and less control over their child's diet. Probably the best thing a parent can do is teach moderation, and hope that lesson sticks.

The best thing a parent can do is to teach the kids to avoid it as much as possible and why. I don't want my kids getting non-alcholic fatty liver disease and neither should they. But if you raise they with a strong will then they will see how important their health is and take their health into their own hands. That is what happened with me. I did the research and became a label reader no matter how many snarky comments my step father made whenever I would read an indrediant label in front of him on something he was making(Or just in general). People who say moderation are clearly uninformed on the topic at hand. Moderation rarley works with addictive substances.(Sugar has been shown to be addictive)
