Rethink Your Drink!

 
 
"Rethink Your Drink"
 
 
As summer is approaching we are all looking forward to spending time outside with our families and friends, we want to remind everyone that drinking water has many benefits.  Water not only is great for our bodies but is the beverage of choice for our teeth!  Reason being... WATER HAS NO SUGAR! 
 
Take a look below as we compare the sugar content of some of our favorite drinks.
 
A 32 ounce bottle of Coke has 65 grams of sugar
which is about 17 sugar cubes!!
 
A 32 ounce bottle of Gatorade has 52.5 grams of sugar
which is about 13 sugar cubes!!
 
A 12 ounce container of Chocolate Milk has 45 grams of sugar
which is about 11.5 sugar cubes!!
A 13.5 ounce container of Orange Juice has 41 grams of sugar
which is about 10.5 sugar cubes!!
A 6 ounce container of Kool-aid Jammers has 24 grams of sugar
which is about 6 sugar cubes!!


Just remember everyone deserves a treat, but by limiting the frequency of sugar in your diet it will help keep your teeth healthy and cavity free!!
