What is in your juice? Check the label. By most accounts it will be water, sugar, and Vitamin C. So pretty much sugar water with vitamins. Fruit concentrate is nothing more than fruit sugar. When you see it on a label treat it as such. A sugary drink is a sugary drink. Let your kids “play with their fruit” . Squeeze it into a glass jar and drink it. Stick a straw in it and see if any juice comes out. Keep fruit in plain sight.
Ounce for ounce coke has less sugar than most 100%fruit juices and sports drinks. Perhaps the juice has an ounce or two of nutritional value, but drinking calories deprived of nutrition only adds to our struggles to get in the fruits and veggies.
