      考研英语阅读篇章：喝水能助儿童解决肥胖问题
    Children should be given only water to drink with meals to help tackle the
obesity crisis, experts argue.
    专家认为，儿童在吃饭的时候应仅喝水以帮助解决肥胖问题。
    A group of nutritional scientists said sugary drinks were empty calories
and people had got "out of the habit of drinking water" with meals.
    The call comes as Public Health England prepares to publish its plans for
cutting the nation's sugar intake.
    Sugar producer AB Sugar said "demonising one ingredient" would not "solve
the obesity epidemic".
    Dr Julian Cooper, head of food science at AB Sugar, said targeting sugar
was not a "silver bullet" and people should balance their calorie intake against
how much they exercise.
    Advice currently states that no more than 11% of daily calories should come
from sugars added by the manufacturer or chef as well as that from honey,
syrup(糖浆，果汁) and fruit juice. The figure is 10% if alcohol is excluded.
    All age groups, particularly children, struggle to meet that target in the
UK.
    Scientists speaking before Public Health England's announcement argued
there were no easy solutions to tackling obesity.
    However, they rounded on sugary drinks.
    "Chose something else," said Prof Susan Jebb, of the University of
Oxford.
    "It comes back to simple advice to parents - encourage your children to
drink water.
    "Once they've been weaned, 'children should be drinking water' is
absolutely the message. Milk is fine, but that should be the mainstay of our
advice."
    Prof Tom Sanders, the head of diabetes and nutritional sciences division at
King's College London, said: "Kids should get into the habit of drinking
water.
    "The problem is people don't drink water anymore. I think families should
put water on the table, not pop, [which] should be a treat."
