I wouldn't say "all" but I think quite a few would fall into that category.

I never let my daughter have Gatorade and I would always cringe when the Dr.
said that she needed it.  Not all Drs. would say this but some were really
big on it.  At least they did come out with G2.  No high fructose corn syrup
in that.  She currently drinks Propel but it is rare for her to finish a
bottle.  She just takes it with her to dance classes.  Mostly she drinks
water there.  I think she thinks she needs it because most of the other kids
drink the stuff.
