Haven’t they known this for decades now?
Fruit juice is all the sugar in fruit but without any of the fiber.
Yeah, the US has an education problem. They kind of tell kids about this in school these days but for a bunch of years fruit was just plain sold as good for you. Kids parents were raised going oh don't drink that Fanta here drink this apple juice. When they're far too close to nutritional value for it to matter.
It's another thing they could put a label on might help a few people, it's really effing hard to put a health food label on everything that's not shit though
Fruit is not just blanket good for you. Even with the fiber, it's something you only want in moderation.
Take an average medium apple. that's 19 carbs. 16 grams of sugar. it has negligible potassium and a 7% of your RDA for Vitamin C.
3g of dietary fiber isn't even all that much. They're mostly water.
A medium banana, 23 grams of carbs. 3g of dietary fiber and 14g of sugar.
potassium is a little better at 10%, C at 11%,
1c grapes 24g sugar 1.5g fiber C at 19% (best yet)
Fruits in the end are snacks. They're high in natural sugars and lack sufficient dietary nutrition to many any significant change to your diet.
Swapping a serving of snack food like pretzels or cheese-its for a piece of fruit isn't a significant difference.
I do wonder if there was some truth to that, though. When I was growing up, I do remember being told fruit juice is healthy, however there was also less weight problem and there was much less availability of fresh fruits
We've also been selectively breeding fruit for years to have more sugar.
Yes. Just got back from the pediatrician and the take home handout said (again) not to feed your kid juice as there's little to no nutritional value and a butt load of sugar
For sure every doctor alwayd says BOOF it or Lose it
