The issue is not juice in and of itself, but the amount. A small glass a day is a good way to get some of the benefits from fruit. We're not sugar free, but sweets are for occasional eating, not for week days. We watch a Disney show every Friday, and my children get to make a small bag of candy (100g) for that. They rarely eat it all. Beyond that we simply load them with greens, and make sure there is always some green that they like and some they have to taste. Hungry when they get home from school? Grab a carrot. Hunger 1 hour before dinner? Take an apple. Need an late lunch snack? Eat some nuts. The battle is won if parents give their children healthy eating habits in their daily life.
