Re: No more than 4oz juice/day

[Guest guest]

Wow this water debate just keeps going and going....

If you have the money (it's expensive) my dietician suggested that I give Adam

the chocolate milk 'juice' boxes (they are found with the regular juice boxes)

for his school lunches. Up here they cost about 3 times the price of the regular

juice boxes...but she said that they were made with a bit of coca (not sugary

chocolate) and so, for Adam and his hypo-g and his other " hyper " related issues,

the sugar is minimal and the benefit of the calcium is much greater. Plus it has

more good calories. She forbid me from using juice!! Not for any of the reasons

(re: Dr. H's idea) but because it is filled with empty junk our kids are better

without.

He's not crazy about them (I send a water bottle too) but he will drink them. PS

The way they are made they do not need to be refridgerated. I do so he has

something cold (or semi cold at least by lunch time!!)

although MOST of the juices on the market have as their #1 ingredient high

fructose corn syrup, I buy 100% juice.... so there is a lot of good to the

juices I buy... however, as has been stated on this list, its a deterant to

gaining weight.

Are the choc. milk " juice " boxes cheaper than the Pediasure? I'm choosing

Pediasure over the juice, but would be nice to switch to something a bit

cheaper! at $10-12 for 6 cans, its a bit pricey!

Hi Sue

I wouldn't switch from the pediasure to chocolate milk boxes. They were

suggested as an alternative to juice boxes for school lunches. I've started

Adam on the pediasure (trying for a 4th " meal " a day--he's 8 years old now).

But to answer your question, those cheap juice boxes that have no real juice in

them (up here in Canada) are priced at a package of 3 for a little over one

dollar. Then when you get to the 100% real juice (hard to find!!) they are

somewhere around 2.00 for a package of 3. The boxed chocolate milk is $2.89 for

a package of 3.

Now, again, that is in Canadian funds--you guys have everything much cheaper

down there.

But as far as nutrition and calories---stick with the pediasure.

---You vcan call ross the makers of pediasure and ask them to send

you coupons. they will send you two, $2.00 coupons per month. THe

only thing is that you have to call each month as they don't have a

mailing list only one mailing per household per month. BUT I was

having my mom, grandma and sister call each month also tHe only thing

about the extra people calling is they have to say that they have a

child who drinks it, not a nephew or grandson or they will not mail

them to them. the phone number is they are open 830 -

500 Eastern time. if I can be of any more help let me know.
