When is it ok to let my child drink pop?

Never.: Never. (now, with that in mind, i still believe that moderation is a generally a good thing. Kids don't need pop, but if kept to limited occasions, it probably isn't too harmful. I'd still avoid pop with caffeine.).

Never.: Soda is not an appropriate drink for a child. Milk, water, and occasionally juice are appropriate drinks.

Never: Soda pop has empty calories and a very acidic ph. It has no nutritional value, and is a leading cause of dental caries in children.

Never would be ideal: Toddlers or babies never! caffeinated soda's should also be avoided. Soda is bad for a child's teeth and their weight.
