Yup, you need to judge how much fizz you want in it compared to the amt of

juice.  The berry has the strongest flavor and it complements all the berry

juices.  Just be careful not to add too much juice or it will go flat.

What do your kids drink that can't have sugar?

If you have a Whole Foods near you, their diet soda is called Zevia.  It comes

in about 7 or 8 flavors and is sweetened with Stevia.  That's what the adults

in the house drink.  The kids drink " blue juice " .  The nice thing is, when

they ask for a drink of our diet soda, we can give them some knowing it's not

bad for them.  It's about 5.99 for a 6 pack.

This is where you rise to the occasion and just say NO MORE. It got to this

point because of your parenting choices and you need to correct it. It is the

rare child that will go on a strike to the point of any physical danger (he'll

drink when he gets thirsty enough).

If your tap water tastes horrible, buy a filter to attach to the faucet or to

pour through in to another container (Britta). Some kids like the water super

cold. Store it in the fridge. Put it in a fun cup? Use a straw?

Sorry to be so blunt, but no child should be allowed to only drink soda or

juice. Autism or no Autism.

Did the dentist really just tell you to switch to diet soda or did they try to

get you to stop soda altogether?

Iced tea is another idea if you get to the point where you cannot get any liquid

in him. There are some good fruity teas out there and you can brew your own. Not

the best alternative, but an idea. Sweeten with unfiltered (raw) honey if you

wish, since raw honey has been shown to kill bacteria (cause of cavities).

Xylitol does the same, but I don't like the taste.

I will tell you my Aspartame saga (Nutrasweet): I developed symptoms of a brain

tumor back in 1984. After going through some testing at an ENT office, I came

back in for my consult. I just happened to have a can of Diet Dew in my hand and

GOD BLESS the ENT for suggesting I stop drinking diet soda. At the time, I was

only having 1 can/day. All symptoms stopped within 48 hours (one sided

headaches, eye pain, off balance, hearing loss). Nutrasweet was added to diet

soda in 1983. I can have Aspartame in chewing gum, but even that can cause some

headaches at times. The stuff is dangerous, and has been linked to disorders

like migraines and multiple sclerosis.

we stopped bottled water cause of the bpa's .  We got the stainless instead and

refill using the Brita filter.

Artificial sweeteners are not only bad for health, but also neuro toxic and

kidney damaging(long term).

You have several options:

1) Use Stevia or Stevia based sweeteners like Purevia or Truvia

2) Plain water

3) Xylitol - made from corn naturally

4) Highly diluted fruit juices - pear or orange. Use as a last resort (we use

this only to give some supplemnts).

hope this helps.
