Fruit Juices That Are Bad for Your Health
If you think fruit juices are a better option than soda, think again. Here are five that are bad for your health: V8, Odwalla, Naked, Tropicana, and Welch’s.
According to the label, V8 is 100% vegetable juice, but if you look closely, it contains tomato juice from concentrate, reconstituted vegetable juice, flavoring, and citric acid. It is also pasteurized, and though this heating process destroys bacteria, it also destroys the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes tomato juice contains.
Odwalla juices, such as it’s 12 fl oz Mango Tango bottle contains 220 calories and 44 grams of sugar. These juices also undergo pasteurization, destroying all nutrients.
A 16 fl oz bottle of Naked’s Blue Machine juice smoothie contains 340 calories and 58 grams of sugar, and these drinks are pasteurized as well.
Tropicana and Welch’s products have similar problems. Many fruit juices also contain dangerous chemicals and pesticides. All the calories from these juices can cause health problems like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and liver damage. More….
