There's an aisle in our local Asda labelled 'Kids Drinks'. Never even walked down it 
My kid drinks water, milk, tea, and even the odd babycino from Costa Coffee. If we have juice in it is always proper fruit juice, unsweetened and NOT from concentrate.

The best thirst quencher bar none is water out the tap left running for 2 minutes and its relatively free ! 
Ah well ,as long as this trend in such drinks doesnt impinge on the beer section i couldnt care less

The problem with these reports on the internet is we dont know which are accurate and which is just somebody writing bull**** with no proof behind their claims of health issues
a bit like global warming where you can only get government funding if your research supports the man made climate change theory.

The real problem with whatever you drink is the acid content......low sugar drinks have extra acid added to improve flavour (usually phosphoric acid) and natural drinks from fruit are packed with acid 
There is a risk / benefit with everything we ingest.......the governments five a day programme will mean we could live longer but the extra acids we take in with the added fruit / veg could wreck our teeth. Having worn down teeth does not kill us so the government are happy..........just what do we do with the 12 percent of people with acid erosion from the diet who have dental problems ?
Just a thought
