	INTRODUCTION

 
Soft drinks supply about 20% to 24% of calories for 2- to 19-year-olds¹ and contribute to excess calorie consumption^2–4 and tooth decay.⁵ Noncarbonated sports drinks and fruit drinks also provide sugar and calories. The average American consumed 55.9 gallons of soft drinks and 6.1 gallons of fruit drinks in 1999.⁶ Soft drink consumption was negatively related to milk and fruit juice consumption,³ but the relationship between beverage consumption and consumption of other food groups is unknown. Here we describe the intake of sweetened beverages, fruits, vegetables, and calories by children in grades 4 through 6.
