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. Because of this alarming trend, a health panel in 2025 that included experts from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association recommended limiting plant-based milk alternatives, flavored milk, caffeine and beverages sweetened with both sugar and non-sugar sweeteners in kids’ beverage consumption. .
So Moms and Dads, it’s time to take a stand and reverse these trends. Syfo can help.

At Syfo, we believe promoting a healthy environment and health in people go hand in hand. We’ve taken steps to ensure that Syfo products are as GREEN as possible in every way, so they’re both healthy for the planet as well as healthy beverages for your body. We do everything we can to reduce waste in the supply stream by making every part of the Syfo packaging and bottling fully recyclable. The water we use in Syfo is purified through reverse osmosis and we return the waste water from the process back into the environment in a more purified state.
