Despite the growing body of information that’s been published (including on this site) about the negative effects of sugar on children’s health, a disturbing fact remains: sugar consumption for kids continues to grow.
The trend really started to gather steam in the late eighties (between 1989 and 2008) during which calories from sugary beverages increased by 60% in children ages six to eleven, while the percentage of children consuming them rose from 79% to 91%. Consumption in older children is even more alarming — a study by the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that sugary drinks (soda, energy, sports drinks) are the top calorie source in teens’ diets (226 calories per day), beating out pizza (213 calories per day).
And the problem appears to be getting worse. A 2014 study in California indicated that consumption of sugary drinks increased another 26% over 2009. Since the first version of our post appeared, this study in the British Medical Journal indicates that the trend continues to accelerate through 2018. The potential health implications of this on our kids are many — including obesity, diabetes, dental problems and issues like cardiovascular disease as adults.
So Moms and Dads, it’s time to take a stand and reverse these trends. Syfo can help.

NOAA is predicting the most active hurricane season since at least 2005 for 2024. And Hurricane Beryl is the strongest Atlantic storm on record for this early in the season. For any storms that may come our way this year, it’s important to be prepared and ready to keep you and your family safe.
Part of that preparation is ensuring that you have plenty of non-perishable food, water and other healthy beverages on hand. Syfo Original Seltzer and Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters are great to have in supply in addition to water because they’re purified, taste terrific and keep you hydrated, unlike soda and some other sweetened drinks. But because products often sell out when a storm approaches, be sure to always have plenty of Syfo on hand.
Of course there are other steps you’ll need to take to keep you and your family safe for the 2014 hurricane season. Click here to read informative hurricane preparedness tips on Ready.gov and be sure to to stay tuned to your local news outlets and weather forecasts as storms approach.
Memorial Day is upon us already, and this year more than ever people are anxious to get out in the fresh air and have fun in the sun all summer long. But with all that heat and activity, it’s important to remember to take care of a critical health issue – staying hydrated.
Luckily, that doesn’t mean having to stick to drinking only plain water this Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer. Sparkling water is a great way to stay hydrated and still enjoy a tasty, refreshing drink.
Contrary to some misconceptions, sparkling water is as hydrating as plain water. In 2016, researchers examined 13 drinks and gave them a beverage hydration index (BHI) as compared to regular water. The team found that sparkling water was every bit as hydrating as still water.
The one caveat, however, is sodium content. Sparkling water that has a higher sodium content than plain water can indeed be less hydrating. Enter Syfo Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters.
Our products contain no sodium – in fact, they contain no preservatives, artificial sweeteners or any other additives. With four delightful all natural flavors that tickle the tongue, Syfo is a fun way to stay hydrated during the summer and the entire year.
So grab a cooler, your favorite bottle of Syfo and bask in the sun and the fun of being outside. And stay healthy and safe this Memorial Day Weekend.
