A member asked:
Heard you should order sugarfree soda on airplanes (less sticky if kids spill). are sugar replacements ok for kids?

No: Artificial sweetners, in general, cannot be considered healthy. Water, if spilled, is not sticky at all! and water is much healthier for airplane travel since it can be dehydrating.

WATER best! ; ): Sugar replacements, in common sense amounts, should be fine, but good ol' water best in this age of too much sugar and other refined carbohydrates.

Not really: I don't encourage any drinks with sweeteners, sugar or otherwise in kids.Any of these can program the kids brain to pursue "sweetness" rather than balanced nutrition and may contribute to weight issues in later life.
