OPH January 2015 Message
====================================================
November Messages from Ottawa Public Health
Your drink is sweeter
than you think!
Most of the
sugar in your day comes from what you drink.
We think about sugar in the food we eat but many popular drinks can also
have a lot of sugar.
Why you
should care:
Filling up on sugary
drinks makes you less hungry for healthier foods.
Children’s small
tummies can fill up on sugar fast.
Sugary drinks can cause tooth decay.
When
choosing a drink remember:
Water and milk
are the best choices.
Most fruit
drinks have no real fruit.
Read labels and
pick drinks with the least amount of sugar.
If sugar is
first in the ingredient list then it’s high in sugar.
Kids are
watching what you drink: your choice impacts theirs!
