Juice good for you why so high in sugar?!
Answers: like cranberry juice good for you but it does have lots of sugar thx to all
Fruit naturally contains sucrose, a simple sugar that is non-fattening and easy to digest.
Not from concentrate fruit juices don't have any sugar added.
well the sugar is natural sugar its already in the fruit and so its still good for you but theres also natural sugars in the fruit.
ok. x)
You have to look for 100% juice. Yes, it contains sugars, but they are sugars that can be easily digested by the body and are better for you than when you get a juice drink with added sugar.
Because cranberry is so tart, most juices add a lot of sugars; sugar, frutose, corn syrup. Buy a mixture, like cran- pomagranate, they tend to be good, and some brands use apple juice and such to sweeten, rather than sugars.
use the cocktail cranberry juice it has less sugar, the reason people say sugars bad is because theres diffrent sugars fuctose corn surup is the worse for you but the most common in foods, sugar from eating an apple is like normal glucose like natrual sugar thats good. seeee
look for juice with no added sugar - like hi fructose corn syrup.
there are a few brands of cranberry, pomegranet, and other good colorful juices without added sugar, but they are a bit expensive since they are 100% juice.
also check no apple, pear, or grape juice is added = these have more sugar per oz and do not have the benefits you are looking for.
You can get "No Sugar Added" juices or just not drink it.
I used to drink tons of juice and during my pregnancy my doctor told me to limit my juice intake and eat fruit instead.
She put it in perspective for me by saying "who sits down and eats six apples at one time? No one! but that's how much sugar you're getting everytime you have a big glass of apple juice AND you're not getting any of the benefits from the fiber to the vitamins in the skin"
I don't juice is as good for you as people claim.
A lot of them are higher in sugar than most beverages like Coke, Mountain Dew, etc. You have to search high and low for healthier juice which in turn is gonna cost more money. Best places for best price is places like Trader Joes or Whole Foods. I been drinking the cranberry juice by Ocean Spray that is sweetened with Splenda and am cutting almost 50% of the added sugar. I does taste a little different, but you'll get use to it and won't get a sugar high.
I'm trying to figure out your question. Don't skip out of English class, PLEASE!
Anyway, it's the "refined" sugar that is bad for you, for numerous reasons, not the "real" stuff that fruit contains.
Juices (as opposed to "drinks" which typically contain 10% or less "juice") contain various nutrients and anti-oxidants that are "good for you" but only as PART of a balanced diet.
If you drink 1 gallon a day of cranberry juice it really isn't "good for you" for the very reason you mention - high sugar content.
A prior content says fructose doesn't become fat but that is just wrong. You create fat by ingesting more calories than you expend. It really doesn't matter if this is fructose, sucrose, complex carbohydrates or others. (There are other reasons why which type of carbohydrates/sugars you ingest matter.)
People often mistake "natural" for "good". If you eat a pound of "natural" honey at every meal you're going to put on weight..
By the way - you are better off eating fruit than drinking juices because typically the fruit the juice came from will also add fiber to your diet which has additional benefits.
real fruit juice is naturally high in sugar but you must consider the actual serving size so if you drink it according to actual serving size and not what we generally are use to it is in moderation...
Not all sugar is bad for you. There are some that are actually beneficial but people think that all sugar is bad so they avoid any and all of it.
