With very few nutrients, a lot of
sugar, and lots of calories, it is capable of adding to one's weight
and messing up children's teeth. A number of the companies are
fortify their juices with vitamins but it doesn't appease New York
dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. “If
isn't healthy in the first place, adding vitamins doesn't make it
into a health food,” referring to fruit juices that are fortified
with vitamins.”
"Fruit juice offers no nutritional
benefit for infants younger than 6 months" and no benefits over
whole fruit for older kids,” says the American Academy of
Pediatrics.
There is the also the problem of from
where America gets most of its apples. The country only produce 17
percent of its own apple juice. China, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil
are the countries who provide the rest.
How strong are the regulations on apple
juice? Not very it seems. The Food and Drug Administration said “it
will examine the restrictions”.
What does “examine the restrictions”
mean? Is this to say they don't know their own restrictions on apple
juice? Is anyone asking this question?
Combine these two things: Not knowing
their own regulations or if they are healthy for you? This can't
reveal anything good at all. University of Wisconsin, Madison
professor Dr. Frank Greer says it best. “Whole foods are much
better for you.”
