Hasn't there always been juice? We didn't just invent juice.

So kids are fat now because of juice why? Are we adding donut concentrate to juice now?

Responses:

yeah we did. it's a 20th century product. Nowhere in nature is there a food that is all sugar and no fiber. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:49 23
- to be label'd "juice" it can't have added ingredients here - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 07:53 17
  - orange, apple, grape juice are all super high in sugar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:54 16
    - my mom made homemade grape juice when I was a kid. it was really good. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 07:57 1
      - my mom made homemade brownies. they contained milk in the form of butter. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:58
    - well grape has almost no calories i think 50 per 100g or so - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 07:55 13
      - it has lots of calories, check it out. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:56 12
        
        wel i did hon...and grape juice is pritty low on the calorie count - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 07:57 11
        
        compared to what? it's all empty calories. Grape juice has zero nutritional value. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:58 10
        
        thats true water is better zero of everything - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 08:01 1
        
        your calorie counts are completely wrong. please post sources. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:02
        
        Exhibit A and all that, but I really don't understand why you seem to want to argue over this so passionately. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 07:59 7
        
        Lots of studies about how it's a significant contributor to childhood obesity, which I think was the original topic. -- nm - Callisto Apr 7, 08:02 1
        
        and the problem with juice specifically is that people have been convinced it's healthy. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:03
        
        Mmm, passionfruit juice -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 08:00
        
        one fourth of American kids are obese. that is bad. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:00 3
        
        This doesn't answer my question, but whatever. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 08:03
        
        it has as much to do, imho, with the increasingly sedentary lifestyle we are developing than their sugar intake, imho. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 08:01 1
        
        I'm not discounting that in any way. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 08:02
- Well, not always like "fire, then wheel, then juice". But always like "holy shit, in 1996 Capri-Sun just blew our fucking minds!" -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 07:52 3
  - (as in, the latter did not happen) -- nm - TFox Apr 7, 07:52 1
    - all the articles about child obesity points to the dramatic increase of sugary drink consumption. - loosilu Apr 7, 07:53
  - and how fat are kids now? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 07:52
- before that, it was called fruit. One apple has 60 calories and a ton of fiber. One serving of apple juice has over 200 calories which by the way - loosilu Apr 7, 07:50
