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.
In the majority of cases, unfortunately, this just isn’t the case. The pictures and descriptions blatantly mislead you into drinking something that isn’t what you think it is.
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!
All fruits have natural sugars; that is part of why we enjoy them so much, their sweetness. The only sugar we need are these natural sugars and no extra, yet the amount that we are consuming via these drinks is staggering. If the percentage of actual juice is 30%, the other 70% is made up of all manner of additives, and most of them are sugar under different names.
Although public awareness is slowly grasping this information, there are still millions of us consuming these drinks under the misconception that are consuming something healthy. If you are on a diet and the weight isn’t shifting, these drinks will have a lot to do with it.
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.
