    You will also find that eating apples oranges and other fruits have the same effect!

    The sugar in drinks sticks more however. I have never had that feeling of a film on my teeth after an apple or an orange.

    Lucozade is not recommended for young children. It's an energy drink, not just a soft drink. It is designed to give quick bursts of energy to adults. It contains far too much glucose for a toddler.

    If you want something sweet for your kids to drink, something like Ribena is a better chioce. Hell, even Coca-Cola is a better choice than Lucozade.

    100% NO, its the worst thing you could give a toddler!!! > Its full of sugar which is sure to rot a childs milk teeth, its also guaranteed to make your toddler hyper due to the massive glucose burst, so I would say never give your toddler Lucozade, or any fizzy drink for that matter.

    I have a 5 year and a 7 year old who have never had lucozade or coke. My sister, who is a dentist, gave me advice when they were babies to never give them anything to drink except milk or water ( including no juice) until they asked for something else. So this summer for the first time they asked for orangina as they could see their cousins with it and I gave them some. But we don't give them any fizzy drinks unless we are out and other kids are having it and they feel left out. Never was an issue, they never asked for it and we never offered.
