The Difference Regarding Juices and Juice Drinks
With so many drinks on the market that are labeled as juice, why do they actually contain hardly any?
The label is what always catches our eye first. And when its got pictures of fruits and the actual word juice, you are obviously going to think that you are buying a nice and healthy drink with a high percentage of real fruit juice. We tend to think that anything with fruit in is good for us.
This seems to be one of the grayest areas when it comes to label description. Juice as we know it certainly isn’t the vapid liquid which comes out of these cartons.
The actual percentage of real juice in these drinks varies wildly. It’s disgusting to think that most of them have a great deal less than 50% of actual juice.
When you decided to try and get fit, I bet one of the first things you did was cut out sugary food and drinks, including soda. I also bet that you haven’t realized that you have replaced them with these misleading drinks that are even worse for us than soda was! Check out the ingredients if you don’t believe me, you were better off with your soda!
A frightening fact that recently came to my attention is that due to the overload of sugar in these products, they are, nutritionally, even behind soda. So drinking soda is actually better for us than these drinks, and the irony lies in the fact that we have probably given up soda in favor of these so called healthier options!
Sadly, so many people have yet to finds out the truth about these drinks, or are choosing to turn a blind eye to it. It’s the ones who are drinking them because they think they will help them to lose weight who really need educating. They are making their battle for fitness even harder for themselves.
The best thing you can do is check the label for he exact wording and the juice percentage. Check for terms such as ‘juice drink’ or ‘blended juices’ etc. If you want pure juice with all the benefits it brings, only buy a product that is 100% pure juice.
