Drinking a glass or more of 100% fruit juice daily is associated with a small weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis.
Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.
The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.
100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.
Funny that they didn't go with the constipation angle in addition to the calories angle. You can eat all the fruit you want and pass it well, but if you do just the juice, you get no fiber and you will get blocked up.
Even if they're cleaned "regularly" it's still possible a kid who just scratched their butt crack with their bare hands could have touched the nozzle for giggles right before you got there.
