Added sugar is the enemy in the fight against childhood tooth decay and when you consider that an 8 ounce can of soda contains 26-31 grams of sugar while the recommended daily dose (for children) is less than 25 grams, parents may want to offer healthier choices. Low sugar lemonade, fresh fruit slushies or strawberry milk are some popular alternatives to soda - adding flavored ice cubes to a glass of plain or sparkling water can work as well.
