Giving the child low-fat milk with meals and snacks instead of regular soft drinks is the best choice to restrict added sugar intake because soft drinks are one of the biggest sources of added sugar in the diet, while low-fat milk is a nutrient-dense beverage that provides vitamins and minerals and helps to reduce added sugar intake. Encouraging energy drinks (A) is not a good idea because they are high in added sugar and caffeine, which can be harmful for a child's health. Choosing fruit ades or drinks instead of fruit juices (B) may contain added sugar as well. Serving more foods that are sources of refined carbohydrates (C) is also not the best choice because they can contribute to blood sugar spikes and are not as nutrient-dense as whole grain foods.
