Here’s the deal: The more sugar-sweetened drinks kids and young adults in the U.S. have, the less water they drink. That’s what data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) tells us. It’s a double whammy of too much sugar. Good news, though: serious water treatment like reverse osmosis can really help with water quality issues. At AMPAC USA, we build commercial and industrial systems specifically for these needs, and they perform exactly as promised.

Sugar-sweetened beverages, or SSBs, just add empty calories to kids’ diets.1 They can also increase the risk of weight gain, obesity, and diabetes.2 If kids drink water instead of SSBs, they might take in fewer calories overall.3 We’ve even seen school programs that swapped SSBs for more water access lead to lower body mass index.4 But how does daily water consumption really connect with the calories kids get from SSBs? We wanted to find out if the number of calories, and the percentage of total energy, from SSBs changed based on how much water US children drank on a given day.
