Not drinking calories is low effort high impact weight management rule. But when you’re a kid they almost force feed you juice or they did when I was young.

Less so now. I’m pretty adamant about not giving my kids juice except as a special treat, and that seems to be the norm with many other parents I know.

Same. Typically plain water, or 90% water, 10% fruit juice at best. Rarely do they get a full strength fruit juice.

What are the reasons? Calories? Sugars? Little to no health benefits?

[el_benhameen]

Yep! All of the above. I’m less concerned about a few excess calories in childhood and more about instilling a habit of needing every drink to taste like something.
