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.
Eh. Parents don’t usually give their kids soda for breakfast, even if juice has a comparable amount of sugar.
They also don’t give their kids candy for breakfast, but cereal and pastries are okay.
This shouldn’t have to be spelled out for you, but many people believe that juice is good for you.
