Look at the label.
Walk through Think Your Drink
Handout:
Always look at the label. Choose the
items that are lower in sugar.

Sugar can be listed on the ingredient list
in many different forms such as high-
fructose corn syrup, fructose, sucrose
and dextrose. You want to watch the
ingredient list for all of these terms and
do not want them as the first three
ingredients listed.

Tips to cut down on sugar sweetened
beverages:
-Choose juices only that say 100% fruit
juice
-Beverages ending in -ade or punch
dont contain very much fruit juice and
have a lot of added sugars
-When youre thirsty, go for water or
low fat milk.
-Try to drink pop only once per day
- Keep cold water bottles on the bottom
shelf of the fridge
- Make water more fun by adding slices
of lemon, lime, watermelon or
strawberry.
