I do not think it's faire to say "Europe". In France, the situation seems fine.

  I'm not sure how one makes a juice with less sugar in it other than watering it down. Putting fresh fruit into a juicer still yields a drink with high amount of sugar.

  Fruit juice by nature is almost 100% sugar even with no sugar added. I don't think there would be any difference between France and the rest of the world, unless you dilute it significantly.

    Not 100 % sugar though... almost 90 % water and 10 % sugar, give or take, depending on fruit and variety.

      When I discuss the nutritional content of my chicken-noodle soup, I don't mention the water content unless I'm comparing it to someone else's soup.

  I think you misunderstood. Natural juices contain a lot of sugar, and that's what you've got in France, too. For instance, apple and orange juice contains approximately 10 % sugar. Juice drinks are then another matter; they are juice diluted with water and added sugar and flavourings, thus nutritionally even worse even though the sugar content is roughly similar.
