Drinking soda has almost nothing to do with rotting teeth. Dentists are now more concerned about the damage electrolyte drinks cause.

Should we take away Gatorade too?

This is the first I've heard anyone say this. Got any sources to share?

First of all, it's not taking away, rather it's not providing. And yes, probably. Gatorade has almost as much added sugar as coke.

The guiding principle is "don't provide things that are 1) going to promote illness, and 2) cause you to have to now provide more things to deal with the problems you've caused.
