We have a new enemy. Fruit juice, contrary to popular perceptions, may not be as “healthy” as we’d like to think it is.
Juice junkies who quench their thirst with super-size drinks might be shocked to know their daily refreshment has more sugar and calories than a can of Coke. As post-Christmas diets and the summer heat send Australians flocking to juice bars, nutritionists have warned that their health-kick efforts could make them put on weight. “Juice is a good, nutritious way to gain weight,” dietitian Melanie McGrice said.
What now? Break out the Coke Zero instead?
I think that we just need to come to accept that everything except for air and water is fattening and just eat and drink everything in moderation.
Yes, it’s unfortunate isn’t it? I always thought it was the things that were bad for us that had to be “enjoyed” in moderation ;)
