Unfortunately not good for you (or our obese kids).
Far better to keep it in the whole food for direct consumption. (And no, I wasn’t so keen on that as a kid either.)
The whole fruit is better than just the juice.
I mix 100% fruit juice 1:1 ~ 2:1 with water. Still plenty of flavor, and more refreshing.
If you think high-fructose corn syrup is bad, then you should think fruit juice is bad too, as it typically contains fruit sugar - fructose.
There is a reason people are pear-shaped.
Fruit most commonly ripens in late summer and early fall. To capture and hold on to nature’s once a year bounty, humans are probably biologically arranged to store it up.
Fruit juice should be removed from SNAP and WIC program coverage.
It’s high in sugar. I avoid it. That said, I use a lot of lemons in cooking and occasionally eat a grapefruit.
Wow! I could have had a V8!
Stopped drinking fruit juice years ago - it is a blast of sugar to the system.
At least with whole fruit, you get fiber which slows down the sugar.
Coming from a family of diabetics, none of us need that sugar blast - not sure anyone does.
If fresh-squeezed orange juice is bad, I don’t want to be good.
ACTUAL fruit juice? No, that’s good for kids. The soda-without-bubbles we sell AS fruit juice in America? Yes, that stuff’s crap.
I make it less sweet by adding gin or vodka.
If I’m going to drink something sugary, it’s real fruit juice. But that is very rare. Fruit is good for you. Fruit juice is not. It’s just not as bad as a Coke or Pepsi.
Frankly, when my wife and I eat at restaurants we drink club soda with a lime.
I’ve had a glass of fresh pure orange juice every day in the morning for the last 55 years. And I’m still here to annoy people on Free Republic
Life is a matter of priorities. And I happen to think that pure fruit juice is pretty low on the list of things that we need to worry about for children.
One is a extremist and a kook for being concerned with Mercury in vaccines that are given to new babies. Fruit juice man that’s a whole nother deal we need to shut down
Anything in excess is not healthy but as a category fruit juice is not "bad".
Especially if you add in some yeast, attach an air lock to the lid and leave it alone for a few weeks.
And I will die on that hill.
