Top 5 Fruit Juices That Are Worse For You Than Soda
Unless you live in a nutrition-deprived cave, you probably know that soda isn’t great for your body. But why isn’t there the same outrage against fruit juices as there is against our favorite fizzy drinks? Fruit juices contain artificial “flavor packs” and are loaded with sugar and calories. Even if the sugar in fruit is fructose, which is naturally occurring, it’s still harmful to your body when in juice form.
1. Welch’s Grape Juice vs. Mountain Dew
Welch’s Grape Juice has a whopping amount of sugar, around two grams more than Mountain Dew, one of the most sugar-filled sodas you can buy. It also clocks in eight more calories.
2. Simply Lemonade vs. Fanta
Fanta may have more calories, but Simply Lemonade still has an insane amount of sugar.
3. Ocean Spray Cherry Juice vs. Pepsi
While both still have a similarly high sugar content, Ocean Spray’s Cherry Juice has more calories.
4. Minute Maid Apple Juice vs. Coca-Cola
Basically the same sugar content, but there are more calories in this nostalgic fruit drink.
5. Dole Pineapple Juice vs. Dr. Pepper
Same story, different characters. This pineapple juice has the same sugar content as Dr. Pepper, but has more calories.
