Hi there,

Thanks for your post! Juice is a tricky subject and a very good marketing ploy, in some respects. The thing is "while juice is often considered healthy with vitamins and antioxidants, juice contains quite a bit of sugar. Many juices are actually sweetened with extra sugar added. Some of these beverages have a low percentage of juice. Also, it is healthier to eat the actual fruit because the fruit has fiber which is essential to a proper diet and helps you to feel full. It is, therefore, acceptable not to drink juice on a daily basis despite what our parents told us."
