I know a straw is preferable to a bottle teat but I'm not sure if it is better than normal drinking from a glass for an older child or an adult.
What really annoys me with some fruit juices is that you think you are buying a better product than a fizzy drink. Then when you read the label some have so much added sugar or are made from so little real fruit juice that you might have been better off giving them the fizzy drink anyway.
When buying a squash for your children to drink do you buy the "no added sugar" or the normal variety. The no added sugar varieties are sweetened with aspartane which is associated with its own problems, something I don't feel we should be giving children. Water is obviosly the best solution.
Tara what will we do if they do flouridate water as dentists are pushing for?
