Be careful of how much fruit juice you drink. It has a lot of calories in it. A serving size (USDA Food Pyramid) is only a 1\/2 cup.<\/p>\n
Fruit juice is concentrated and powerful. An 8 oz. glass of apple juice
\nmay contain about 10 apples-worth of juice. 8 ounces of orange juice
\ncould be the equivalent of 6 oranges. You wouldn’t eat that many in one
\nsitting, would you? <\/p>\n
Many fruit juices are loaded with sugar, too,
\nespecially naturally bitter juices like cranberry or grapefruit. Those
\nneed added sugar to be palatable. Beware of any juice labeled “drink”
\n(they contain hardly any real juice at all), or “cocktail” (that means
\nit’s full of sugar).
\nWhile it’s better to actually eat the real fruit, some fruit juice is
\nOK, and good for you. Certainly better than soda.
