What One Must Have Knowledge About When It Comes To Juice Beverages
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
I'm sure you must all be as fed up as I am of buying a drink that claims to be juice and on opening it, find out that its some strange colored impostor.
Juice seems to have many different meanings. To me, fruit juice is extracted from real fruit and is both tasty and full of nutrients. To some drinks manufacturers, it seems to mean that a bland tasting liquid can be passed of as juice if its color co-ordinates with its name! Yet still we buy them, under the assumption that as they have some fruit in them they must be healthy.
Sadly this very often isn't the case. The drinks packaging is so misleading that the pure juice you think you are drinking is anything but.
When you check the labels carefully for the proportion of actual juice in the drink, you may find one or two with 40-50%, but the vast majority contains a lot less.
So what makes up the difference? Well I'll tell you, all manner of sweeteners, preservatives and other fancy names ingredients which they feel the need to add. There are multiple names for sweeteners, I bet you have no problem is spotting Fructose, Syrup and Sucrose on the label. These all add up to one thing; far too much sugar.
All fruits have natural sugars; that is part of why we enjoy them so much, their sweetness. The only sugar we need are these natural sugars and no extra, yet the amount that we are consuming via these drinks is staggering. If the percentage of actual juice is 30%, the other 70% is made up of all manner of additives, and most of them are sugar under different names.
Although public awareness is slowly grasping this information, there are still millions of us consuming these drinks under the misconception that are consuming something healthy. If you are on a diet and the weight isn't shifting, these drinks will have a lot to do with it.
Only pure juice extracted from the fruit is healthy for us. So ignore anything that says 'cocktail of juices' or 'juicy drink'. If is doesn't say 100% pure fruit juice on the carton then leave it on the shelf, it is one of the impostors which will do you more harm than good.
