Drinking Fruit Juice is NOT THE SAME as eating Fruit!

I know that this essay will not change the minds of many people, especially parents who want to find something for their children to drink that isn’t soda, is not milk and is not a ‘drink’ of some kind with very limited nutritional value. Unfortunately. fruit juice is not the right way to turn and it is really nothing more that a slightly better version than a fruit ‘drink’

The be clear, fruit drink usually contain less than 10% fruit and is as close to just being a sugary flavored water as you can get.  People get distracted by the word FRUIT and don’t look closely to the word DRINK. The manufacturers can clearly stated that they told you what was in the package or bottle was not a substitute for fruit and you bought it so they did not deceive you- and they are correct.

So what about actual 100% fruit juice, what’s wrong with that?  Plenty!  This is also not a substitute for real fruit and I will explain.

Despite all the marketing and government support, fruit juices contain limited nutrients and tons of sugar. In fact, one 12-ounce glass of orange juice contains 10 teaspoons of sugar, which is roughly what’s in a can of Coke.

Drinking fruit juice is not the same as eating whole fruit. While eating certain fruits like apples and grapes is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes, drinking fruit juice is associated with the opposite. Juices contain more concentrated sugar and calories. They also have less fiber, which makes you feel full. Because juice can be consumed quickly, it is more likely than whole fruit to contribute to excess carbohydrate intake. For example, research has found that adults who drank apple juice before a meal felt hungrier and ate more calories than those who started with an apple instead. Children who drink juice instead of eating fruit may similarly feel less full and may be more likely to snack throughout the day.

There is no evidence that juice improves health. It should be treated like other sugary beverages, which are fine to have periodically if you want them, but not because you need them. Parents should instead serve water and focus on trying to increase children’s intake of whole fruit. Juice should no longer be served regularly in day care centers and schools. Public health efforts should challenge government guidelines that equate fruit juice with whole fruit, because these guidelines most likely fuel the false perception that drinking fruit juice is good for health.
