What is your child drinking?

Here's some recent news headlines that caught our attention and prompted us to ask the question, "What is your child drinking?."

News headline #1:

U.S. teenagers are living with the threat of osteoporosis in later life by not getting enough calcium, claims a new report that suggests supplements could help.

Intake of calcium is important for the development of the skeleton and to reduce the risk of fracture and osteoporosis in later life, and the peak calcium buildup rate is at age 12.5 for girls and 14 for boys.

The article, published in the journal Pediatrics, reported that about 30 per cent of boys and only 10 per cent of girls were achieving the recommended daily intake (RDI) of calcium. The RDI for 9 to 18 year olds is 1300 mg per day, and yet the average intake in this age group is about 850 mg per day.

News headline #2:

Obesity has long been recognized as a cause for type-2 diabetes, but scientists now say that the disease may be a factor in accelerated type-1 diabetes in some children.

The new research, published in the February issue of Diabetes Care, may lead to more pressure being placed on food and beverage manufacturers, already under fire for the rising incidence of childhood obesity.

"The increasing prevalence of childhood obesity may substantially account for the younger age at onset of type 1 diabetes observed in various populations," said researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

The new study was part of the Search for Diabetes in Youth, which is trying to determine the prevalence and incidence of childhood diabetes and document how much childhood diabetes is type 1, how much is type 2.

The American Heart Association recently released nutritional guidelines for children, underlining that arteriosclerosis begins at a young age, and that those who follow a poor diet and take too little exercise may already have a build-up of plaque in the arteries by adolescence. Furthermore, type 2 Diabetes, which used to be known as adult onset diabetes, is now increasingly being diagnosed in kids, adding to the cardiovascular risk profile of children.

In 2002, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) cited that 16 percent of children aged 6-11 were overweight, with the same percentage holding true for 12-19 year olds.

Our comment...

Considering that most beverages consumed by children these days are often loaded with sugar, high fructose syrup, artificial colors & sweeteners, and devoid of minerals, we believe X2O is the perfect (and much healthier) alternative.

Has your child or grandchild tried X2O yet?
