With so many drinks on the market that are labeled as juice, why do they actually contain hardly any?
The label is what always catches our eye first. And when its got pictures of fruits and the actual word juice, you are obviously going to think that you are buying a nice and healthy drink with a high percentage of real fruit juice. We tend to think that anything with fruit in is good for us.
In the majority of cases, unfortunately, this just isn’t the case. The pictures and descriptions blatantly mislead you into drinking something that isn’t what you think it is.
When you check the labels carefully for the proportion of actual juice in the drink, you may find one or two with 40-50%, but the vast majority contains a lot less.
When you decided to try and get fit, I bet one of the first things you did was cut out sugary food and drinks, including soda. I also bet that you haven’t realized that you have replaced them with these misleading drinks that are even worse for us than soda was! Check out the ingredients if you don’t believe me, you were better off with your soda!
Ok, here’s a one for you; get a carton of juice and a can of soda and compare the ingredients. Yes, I had to look twice too, they are virtually the same! We stopped drinking our favorite soda in our bid to get fit and healthy, and have replaced it with something of even less value nutritionally.
Sadly, so many people have yet to finds out the truth about these drinks, or are choosing to turn a blind eye to it. It’s the ones who are drinking them because they think they will help them to lose weight who really need educating. They are making their battle for fitness even harder for themselves.
The best thing you can do is check the label for he exact wording and the juice percentage. Check for terms such as ‘juice drink’ or ‘blended juices’ etc. If you want pure juice with all the benefits it brings, only buy a product that is 100% pure juice.
