... 100% fruit juice.. Juice being bad is a very recent thing
I haven't really seen that, or at least not a clear cut "it's bad". (I'm sure there's someWhen updated school food guidelines from the Feds came down, traditional SSB's were cut out but juice w/o any additives were still included as acceptable healthy drinks. I have seen information that it shouldn't be the only thing you drink, but also that the natural sugars in them are much better than, say HFCS. Most of what I can find on the topic simply advocates moderation, though there are some exceptions.
- com2kid 5y ago100% fruit juice is now recognized as being not healthy. It is a "treat" just like cookies or pop. Most sources will advocate "moderation" because you can't tell Americans not to eat trash without Americans getting upset. "OK in moderation" means "it is unhealthy but if we tell you to stop you won't so...." Same as alcohol being OK in moderation. It isn't. It is 100% bad for you. (Those studies in wine are all statistically trickery). Ditto for cookies. There is no healthy amount of cookies to eat. Do oatmeal cookies technically have some nutritional value? Sure. But that is like dropping a multi-vitamin into a shot of jack daniels. Good for you only in the sense that of hitting yourself on the head and then going for a massage. Or to put it yet another way, there is exactly 0 instances where fruit juice is superior to eating a piece of fruit. Is orange juice better than something getting scurvy? Sure. That's about the limit of its health benefit though.
