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.
no added sugar is true - but it doesn’t consider that 100% fruit juice has a metric SHIT TON of natural sugar in it. A glass of 100% orange juice is roughly the equivalent of something like 6-8 oranges.
