there's no need to regularly drink sports concoctions nor pop. Juice at least has some nutrients. I mostly drink milk and water and tea. -- nm

juice has very few nutrients compared to the caloric costs. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:30 17
- still, it's better than pop by far -- nm - zork Apr 7, 07:33 15
  - it's really not. just about the same amount of calories. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:33 14
    - --- but manufacturers have convinced most people juice is nutritious, which is part of the problem. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:34 13
      - ok, but I'd still rather they have a taste for fruit and hopefully eat some of the real stuff more often. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 07:35 4
        
        see, this is part of the problem. you're giving them a taste of the junk, which of course they're going to like better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:36
        
        if you want kids to like fruit, you don't give them soda. give them fruit. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:36 2

        it's like giving kids ice cream and saying "Maybe it will make t hem want skim milk." -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:38
      - it's better than soda, at least. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 07:34 7
        
        It's really not. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:35 6

        and I'm sure their are dozens of scientists who will say the exact opposite. There always are -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 07:40 4
        
        in this case, you will not find them. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:41 3
        
        in any case, I grew up drinking juice because I was allergic to milk. - znufrii Apr 7, 07:42 1
        
        how is juice a sub for milk? - loosilu Apr 7, 07:43
        
        ... unless they work for the juice industry. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:41
- ...besides which, I doubt many American kids are vitamin C deficient. Manufacturers put that crap in everything. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:31
