Name: Children and Juice
Ingredients: JUICE OVERLOAD

Theologians have an interesting question. Does Scripture teach that man is no longer in the image of God? Or does it suggest that the image remains but has been grossly defaced? In many ways (the latter) is an even more tragic prospect. We might well be justified in thinking that there could be no greater disaster than that the likeness of God should be exterminated. But in fact there is. What if the image of God, in which His greatness and glory are reflected, becomes a distortion of His character? What if, instead of reflecting His glory, man begins to reflect the very antithesis of God? What if God's image becomes an anti-god? This, essentially, is the affront which fallen man is to God. He takes all that God has lavished upon him to enable him to live in free and joyful obedience, and he transforms it into a weapon by which he can oppose His Maker. The very breath, which God gives him thousands of times each day, he abuses by his sin. The magnitude of his sin is also the measure of his need of salvation.

INSTRUCTIONS

Like many parents, you may consider "natural" fruit juice a healthy snack,
and if you have a picky eater, you may be tempted to give him/her lots of
juice to supplement their diet. But young children who drink large amounts
of fruit juice, apple juice in particular, are at risk for severe
nutritional deficiencies that can interfere with normal growth, according
to researchers at the Maimonides Medical Center in New York City. Drinking
juice throughout the day will decrease a child's appetite, making eating
problems even worse. Juices with lots of fructose and sorbitol sugars can
cause diarrhea, bloating, and cramps when not fully digested. And kids who
constantly guzzle juice from a bottle are susceptible to cavity-causing
bacteria. It's best to give young children real fruits and vegetables or
water, which is essential for a balanced diet and won't interfere with
their appetites. If you decide to serve juice, wait until your child is a
year old and serve it only in a cup as a beverage with a meal - not as a
snack. Toddlers should drink no more than four to eight ounces of juice a
day. Older kids should be limited to one or two cups daily, each with a
meal. *By Jeffrey L. Brown, M.D., F.A.A.P., taken from August 1994 issue of
