It's time fruit juice loses its wholesome image, some experts say

Knudsen does have some great juice . Worth the price , try the apple cider too . A local lab tested juices , and that was one of the only ones without added , nonfruit sugar . If they were all like that , juice would be healthy .

I cut my juice with 1/2 carbonated soda water - better than a Coke and 1/2 the fructose!

wow... lets ignore the health benefits that juice can give us via the natural vitamins that help boost our immune system and keep us healthy all-round..... The difference between soda/kool-aid is that they have added sugar and added vitamins that are not processed as fully through our systems as the natural forms...... This is a crock...... Eat organic/natural foods and see how quickly you lose weight.... the problem is not within juices it is the chemicals we ingest in our every day diet.........

Talk to Jack LaLanne.

Eating whole fruit is much healthier than drinking fruit juice. The fiber in fruit slows down the absorption of the fructose contained within fruit into the bloodstream. Drinking fruit juice results in fructose entering the bloodstream almost immediately.

Note the fact that there's a direct correlation between the use and consumption of high fructose corn syrup in sodas and food products and the incidence of diabetes.

Better not try to take away my cranberry juice. Them are fighting words.

fruit drinks (something other than 100% fruit juice) are bad for you .real fruit juice has much more to offer than other drinks like the vitamins found in fruit.I think every one knows fruit juice in a bottle with sugar or high fructose corn syrup is not the same as all natural fruit juice that includes the" experts" in this post they are just assuming that the general population is too stupid to understand

This is a can of worms. The issue gets complicated fast. Juices can be a quick and easy food if not abused, or they can be junk depending on how much is consumed and the quality of the food. Juices can be healthy in specific situations - like the vitamin C and antioxidants. Juices are better but cost more than concentrates because of harvest and shipping costs. It takes more energy to ship juices than concentrates and costs more to the environment when CO2 emissions are considered. People on a budget are going to end up paying for the tax.

Is it too late to stuff all those worms back into the can?

IDIOTIC RESEARCH! They are talking of concentrate juice, not natural juice.

Only 100% fruit juice with no sugar added is healthy. ANything you see at the grocery store is liquid sugar and not very healthy.

sooo if i just eat apples instead of drinking not-from-concentrate apple juice i'll be ok? ;P

thanks for f#$%ing society again......

that's definitely debatable. soda does not have vitamins/nutrients/fiber... i'm calling BS.

Unless you juice it yourself , it is not that healthy . I thought this was known .

DO NOT fuck with my Juicy Juice. There will be consequences.

Antioxidants, Vitamins, Polyphenols. Yes these are the things that apparently have no place in the modern diet. I guarantee that the 100% grape juice I drink is much more than sugar water and I've even done the HPLC runs to prove it.

WATER

Yeah, I mean, pure juice, not-from concentrate and without any additives is just the same as putting sugar in water. Forget any added natural nutrients you might glean from the fruit or any fiber that might come as pulp. PURE EVIL!

Juice can be very saturated in sugar (seeing as fruit has natural sugar in it) but there's a thing called moderation.

Well it depends on what juice youre drinking...some is just as bad if not worse than soda and others are quite healthy. It all depends on how much sugar and other chemicals are added, but there are many juices that are pure fruit juice and water. Do your own research and read the back of the label...it doesnt take more than a few seconds to evaluate if something is good for you or not.

I know I should just eat a piece of fruit, but 100% juice cannot even compare to soda or beverages sweetened with fructose corn syrup. It's like comparing the fat in nuts to that in twinkies. I don't rely on juice by itself as a beverage or to provide my vitamins for the day (I use Flintstones chewables for that), but I do use juice to flavor mineral water and I think that's healthier than a lot of alternatives.

Loved sugar water as a kid, drank it all the time. Sometimes didn't even bother adding water just ate spoonfuls of sugar. Sugarcubes are nice too.

This guy is a complete idiot and needs to specify concentrate juice is bad for your diet. To say that juice itself was not invent in mass till the 1900 is moronic. Even if our ancestors, the good old hunter gatherers, did not intentionally make juice, their diet consisted mainly of fruits and berries. It funny how these people want to blame natural food as bad, when hunter gatherer tribe of today eat an average of 5 lbs of meat a meal, tons of honey and fruit, but have no such thing as heart disease, diabetes, or most of the weird disease that we with our civilized world believe are normal. Is it that hard to see that intensive agriculturalist (us) are prone to bad health. Its the pay off of a sedentary life and screwing with your food resources by fattening them up with grain and other artificial goodies, and protecting your veggies and fruit from very natural things like bugs, which don't really cause harm, with chemicals. Its sad that people can not see the obvious. It should be mandatory for everyone to take anthropology, but of course its not , because then people would be exposed to how determinately their style of life is.

Nonsense...

My OJ IS NOT 100% sugar.

It is 50% Vodka.

In the modern diet, "there's no need for any juice at all."
^Steeeeeeewpid^

Good to know...

but it's so good

Who's paying Dr. Charles Billington, "an appetite researcher at the University of Minnesota."?

If it's not one thing it is another !
