Abstract

Fluids High fat Energy density Low fat Caloric beverages Metabolize
Guidelines for fluid intake are controversial and largely nonevidence based. High energy fluids (including fruit juices, energy and “power” drinks, and sugar-sweetened soft drinks, largely from processed sources), can contribute up to ∼20% of total energy intake, particularly in children, thus significantly contributing to obesity. Recommendations for fluid intake are considered here in light of this knowledge.
