Unhealthy drinks: soft drinks, cordial, sports drinks, energy drinks Soft drinks, cordial, sports drinks and energy drinks have lots of sugar and virtually no nutrients. They’re not good for children, because they take the place of other more nourishing foods and drinks and can cause weight gain or tooth decay. Many soft drinks also contain caffeine, which could make your child extremely excited, then exhausted. Flavoured milk and breakfast milk meals like Sanitarium’s Up&Go® are higher in added sugar, so it’s better to offer your children plain milk instead. Mineral waters and flavoured waters are high in certain minerals that can stress your child’s kidneys. Flavoured varieties are also full of sugar. HERBAL teas are not good for your child. Tea and coffee contain caffeine, which can affect your child’s sleep, behaviour and development.
