    - it says to me they're fiddling with the definition of "sugar". there's no protein or fat in it, only other choice is sugar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:58 3
      - Sprite: 38g carbs (38g sugars) Apple Juice 42g carbs (37.5g sugars). Perhaps those 4.5g non sugar carbs account for the addittional calories. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 10:02 1

- dude - prayformojo Apr 7, 09:35
subby, I get that you're not saying juice is good. But it actually has *more* calories than pop. - loosilu Apr 7, 09:28 39
- you need to back up this claim that juice has more calories than pop. the report on tv that I saw yesteday said otherwise. I think ... - zork Apr 7, 09:48 2
  - pretty easy to go to the daily plate and find: - Callisto Apr 7, 09:52
  - already did but here's the repost. 12 ounces Grape juice, 228. Grape soda, 159. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 7, 09:51
- We always dilute the juice we givce our two year old. In fact it's about 5 parts water to 1 part juice. However without that 1 part juice, she won't - Subversive Apr 7, 09:36 1
  - that's totally reasonable. What I'm really railing about is kids who drink way more juice than that. - loosilu Apr 7, 09:37
- Soda doesn't offer any nutritional value whatsoever. Milk and juice (high calorie drinks) do. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 09:31 1
  - minimal nutrition that is easily obtained elsewhere, for a high caloric cost. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:32
- calories are not evil. Also, in Canada, juice has to be juice to be marketed as juice. Otherwise it has to be called a "beverage". - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:29 31
  - look, there's a news story out today saying 1/5 of four year olds are obeses. Empty calories are bad. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:30 30
    - harder requirements towards food labeling is in order - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 09:43 2
      - the lables are there. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:44 1
        
        so juice is always a squized fruit put into a bottle? - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 09:47
    - I have a cousin who was raised on apple juice. Constant diet of it. - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:31 26
      - you have to drink a LOT of water for it to be bad. very rare for kids to do that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:32 25
        
        Right, because they'd rather drink juice or soda, keeping their electrolytes in balance and not suffocating their nervous system. - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:33 24
        
        I don't think I'm missing the point. high sugar drinks mess up electrolytes, since you're taking that path. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:34 23
        
        It was a joke. If a kid is obese at that age, fault lies entirely - 100% - with the parents, not with beverage companies. - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:35 22
        
        disagree, beverage companies hammer out the propaganda that juice is all healthy. It works, obviously. I think it's shared responsibility. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:36 21
        
        only real juice is healthy that is juices that have no additive of any kind -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 09:54
        
        You are missing the point. Juice is a preffered alternative to soda. It is not superior to water, but is superior to soda. As with all things, it's - TWuG Apr 7, 09:39 7
        
        I totally disagree that it's superior to soda. Just a *little* bit superior and not needed in any way. - loosilu Apr 7, 09:41 6
        
        i'd say that depends on the diet you kid has before i'd put out statements like that -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 09:52
        
        Moderation is the key. You're going all Nazi about it and your losing your audience. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 09:43 4
        
        *ding ding ding* -- nm - kelly Apr 7, 09:45
        
        "SugarNazi" is a pretty odd pet name -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:44 1
        
        I'm ok with it, honestly. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:45
        
        that's fair. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:43
        
        Oh, I agree that they market it that way. Doesn't mean they should change the juice. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:37 11
        
        I don't know how you got there. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:38 10
        
        That sounded like where you were going, that juice is evil ... ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:38 9
        
        oh, I think it's killing our kids. - loosilu Apr 7, 09:40 8
        
        Juice? You think Juice is killing kids? - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:41 7
        
        I won't rest until... *goes the closest golf course* -- nm - O.J. Apr 7, 09:43
        
        overconsumption of sugar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:42 5
        
        Overconsumption of HFCS, I can agree with that being an issue. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:42 4
        
        all sugar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:43 2
        
        that's just silly -- nm - decline Apr 7, 09:45 1
        
        you think overconsumption of sugar is not a problem? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 09:46
        
        (erm, and refined sugar, as well) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 09:43
