Soft drinks are beverages that have existed for over 100 years. They can quench thirst and help fulfill daily fluid intake requirements that are needed to maintain proper hydration for individuals. Soft drinks are a complement to many types of foods that together form a balanced diet.
The soft drink industry has a long commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle for individuals -- especially children. As part of that ongoing commitment, the industry recognizes:
1) The importance of at least 20 minutes of daily physical exercise and the need for daily physical education classes in grades K through 12.
2) An important key to a healthy lifestyle is eating a balanced diet that consumes a wide variety of foods in moderation. All foods and beverages can fit into a healthy diet, and experts agree that sugar -- in moderate amounts -- has a place in a healthy diet.
3) Consumming at least 67 ounces of fluid each day (even more for those who are physically active) is important to your health. Adults and children should consume a wide variety of fluids each day, including water, milk, juices, teas, sports drinks and soft drinks to maintain proper hydration.
