Drinks high in added sugar give us unnecessary kilojoules and little nutrition,
as a result they could lead to weight gain. These drinks may also cause tooth
decay. It is best to avoid or limit these drinks as much as possible. Water is by
far the best option! It is hydrating, kilojoule free and inexpensive.
