Juice Can Be
Nutritious
I was ready an article about how fruit juice has a bad
reputation, it is high in sugar, its causing obesity in children,
and people are comparing it to other sugary beverages such as
sodas. I personally have never been a fan of giving my child a
lot of fruit juice, however the recommended 4-6oz of 100%
fruit juice is packed with nutrients. Is fruit juice high in
sugar? Yes, but compared to sodas or sweet tea, 100% fruit
juice is a better option. In my home we offer water or 1%
milk, and encourage eating whole fruits. Now do we have
100% fruit juice in our home, absolutely, we all enjoy a little
juice every now and then. Don't be scared to have or give a
little fruit juice, I always say everything in moderation. As for
other sugary beverages, like soda and sweet tea, offer none or
very little as it is high in sugar and low in nutrients.
