Sugary Drinks Are Impacting Latino Kids' Health, Weight
by BRIAN LATIMER

Parents may think it's harmless to to let toddlers and young kids drink soda or fruit juice, but it can have serious and lifelong health effects.

"Being Latino and drinking sugary beverages at least once in the past week were associated with 2.3 times the odds of severe obesity in kindergarten, which can lead to obesity-related diseases," reports Salud! America.

Latino children aged 0-5 consume sugary drinks at a higher rate than the average kid in the U.S.

Almost three-quarters of Latino children in the U.S. and more than eight-in-ten black children have consumed a sugary drink like soda or some fruit juices by the time they are 2 years old, compared to around 45 percent of non-Latino white children who have consumed a sugary drink before their 6th birthday.

Which parents are those?

Keep in mind, though, there's a difference between giving your kid a 4-ounce box of Juicy Juice and handing him a 20-ounce Mountain Dew. One at least has Vitamin C, doesn't have caffeine and is an appropriate portion size. The other, well, is the opposite.

Hey @jmyrlefuller Mountain Dew does have Vitamin C. I believe it contains orange juice. That's why my fat kid doesn't have cold and loads of energy from the caffeine.

It's time for more taxes on those types of drinks.  Lets call Mayor Big Gulp for advice.
