What Are the Recommended Limits for Sugary Beverage Consumption?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children aged 2 to 18 years should consume no more than 25 grams (6 teaspoons) of added sugars per day. For children under the age of 2, added sugars, including those in beverages, should be avoided altogether. It's crucial to replace sugary drinks with healthier alternatives like water, milk, and 100% fruit juices (in moderation).
