If you meant Asian, I'm not. No need to assume.

Is bubble tea worse than other sugary drinks?

LOL worried about once a week sugary snack


I wasn't worried until I read recommendations from AHA saying that kids aged 2-18 should have "no more than 8 ounces of sugar-sweetened drinks per week"

I don’t know what the other drink is.

My kids get a kind of dessert every night after dinner. Usually ice cream.


Thanks for the advice.

Bubble tea is tea-based and sometimes has milk and tapioca pearls.

Your kids are lucky to get dessert every day


Huh?


What do you mean?

The thing about milkshakes is the portions I think.
Would they go for a tropical fruit smoothie instead?


We have no family history of diabetes. I just read about the health risks and am concerned: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sugar-how-bad-are-sweets-for-your-kids/

Tropical fruit smoothie could be a good idea. Thanks!
