I would still pick juice over soda just because of the caffeine x3
And i agree, EATING fruit is always better x3
Also, is this study done on the sugar filled juices, or whole nutrient naturally sweet drinks?

Quote: They were also asked how often they drank "orange juice or grapefruit juice," with frequency options ranging from never or less than 1 drink per month to 2 or more drinks per day. A third question asked about consumption of "other fruit juices, fortified fruit drinks, Kool-Aid" with the same frequency options. Data from the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals 1998 indicate that for US African American women aged 21 to 69 years, 80% of intake of such beverages is of sugar-sweetened fruit drinks and 20% is of unsweetened fruit juice.It would seem that most of the juice was the sweetened stuff. Quote: In this prospective study of African American women, consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks was positively associated with incidence of type 2 diabetes. Women who consumed 2 or more soft drinks per day had a 24% increase in incidence relative to women who drank less than 1 soft drink per month. A similar association was observed for sweetened fruit drinks, with a 31% increase observed for 2 or more drinks per day relative to less than 1 drink per month. Consumption of orange and grapefruit juice and of diet soft drinks was not associated with diabetes risk. Indeed, it was not the 'pure' stuff that was so bad as the sugared juices. Unfortunately, people still think sugared juices are a healthy "alternative" to sugary sodas. Don't want your kid chugging a Shasta? Give 'em a Hi-C or Sunny D! So much for that thinking, heh.

I hate Sunny D. I hate their advertising. They give people the false sense that there's vitamins in it. I'll be damned if I can find the ingredient list on their website, but from memory, the it's water, sugar, high fructose corn syrup (sugar) tons more other additives and then.... vitamin c, all by itself at the back of the list. scream I drink so called "green" juices. I forget about the high sugar content, because I like the fact that it has X ingredient. And wow, my juice companies website blows Sunny D's out of the water. Mega Green

Yuck! does Sunny D count as juice? I thought it was the supreme orange chemical drink? That being said, I like juicing my veggies. [:

Yep, the closest I ever come to drinking fruit juice is tossing an apple into the juicer with the veggies. And I don't really use the juicer that often, just when I'm almost-fasting. I'd rather have everything the fruit has to offer, not just the juice.

onicoe Yuck! does Sunny D count as juice? I thought it was the supreme orange chemical drink? That being said, I like juicing my veggies. [: Omg. I was in the market for a new couch, and there was this nifty microfibre, anti stain fabric. The one year insurance covered grease, wine, lipstick, nuclear waste... but not Sunny D. They've never found a way to get rid of the orange tint. The sales woman couldn't believe people let their kids drink it.

Like coke, when i was in 7th grade we did experiments with coke in my science class. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. I witnessed this. && our police department, uses large amounts of coke when they need to get a lot of blood of the roads after a bad accident. As for juice, i drink motts apple juice ninja
I wonder how sugary that is...

Apples have been selectively bred to the point where they're sugar bombs from the trees - so I'd guess it's pretty darn sugary. Generally speaking, someone has the nutrition data for every product up online somewhere - all you have to do is search for it. Here is Mott's apple juice.In a single serving of Mott's apple juice, there are 24 grams of carbohydrates - 23 of which are sugar. That's around half of what you'll find in a can of soda or in Sunny Delight. Even so, it's still high-glycemic sugar - not good if you're prone to bloodsugar problems.

I wonder how sugary that is...Phosphoric acid is in all the carbonated stuff---I used lots of cheap soda to take the rust off 7 old, rusty steel Ice-cream-parlor chairs a few years ago. Worked like a charm! wink

According to this page, it has 13 grams of sugar. So as far as sugar goes, it's better. It still comes in a plastic bottle, though, and doesn't have the fiber that real fruit has. wink

It's crazy how hard it is to find juice that's actually, um, just juice, especially if you want something besides apple juice. No high fructose corn syrup in my grape juice, please!!!! gonk (Seriously. GRAPE JUICE, people. A juice that is used as a sweetener itself. Why, just... WHY???)

This is a very interesting thread. I just gave my grand daughter (Jazlyn, so if you see me say Jazz, that's her) some grape juice. It is Welch's so I never thought about it. No wonder she gets hyper, lol, it has 42 g carbs, sugar is 40g of that! I did check, there were no added sugar, there was other stuff though. Jeeze I guess I'll have to can some juice (along with the jelly and jam) when my grapes get ripe.
