Some of you are saying.... SO WHAT? WHY DOES THIS MATTER? The American Heart Association states that women should consume no more than 23 grams of sugar per day and Men no more than 35 grams of sugar per day. Fruit juices are a quick way to pack on the sugar and too much of it can hurt you. The truth is- too much sugar makes your liver sick. Did you know that one cup of orange juice has has 21 grams of sugar -that alone is almost the daily allowance for women. It has the same effect on our livers that alcohol does except, we do not realize the bad effects we are having on our insides because the side effects of too much sugar intake are not as noticeable in short term but in the long term can have very drastic negative effect on our bodies.
SO..
Most people think that fruit juice is a healthier option to drink than soda....when in reality this couldn't be more FALSE. Fruit juice is not a healthy option because you are only drinking the sugar and not getting the other necessary nutrients you would get from a raw fruit or vegetable. These necessary ingredients such as fiber are key to being healthy and fit and to help your body process these sugars more efficiently. Next time you are at the grocery store avoid the fruit juice isle, instead grab whole fruits and vegetables to eat. You won't regret it.
Trust me.
