Juice, a healthier choice than soda?

April 30, 2008 by Patricia in Label Language, Nutrition with No Comments

It is assumed that fruit juice has to be a healthier choice than soda, after all it comes from fruit, but is it? I am sure that there are a few more nutrients in juice than soda but the truth is not enough to be considered a health drink. The many health claims of fiber, added multivitamins and glucosamine are nothing more than that, just health claims.

Juice is fruit sugar and the recommendation is that your children should consume no more than a 12 oz. glass of juice in a day.

For real health benefits buy the fruit leave the juice on the shelf.
