"Study Finds Link Between Fruit Juice Consumption and Weight Gain in Children and Adults"

A new analysis of prior studies suggests that consuming 100% fruit juice is linked to a small increase in weight in both children and adults. The study's findings indicate that excessive sugar intake from juice can lead to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Experts recommend limiting juice intake for children and advise against using juice as a substitute for whole fruits and vegetables. The study emphasizes the importance of portion control and highlights the impact of juice consumption on body mass index.
