Study: For Goodness’ Sake, Stop Giving Kids Juice

A new British study is reiterating what anybody could work out by looking at nutrition labels: many commercially sold fruit drinks and juices give kids an entire day's worth of sugar in a single serving. Of 203 fruit drinks, juices, and smoothies marketed at children, almost half of them had at least a child's daily recommend maximum sugar intake of 19 grams. Pamela Koch, executive director of the nutrition program at Teachers College, Columbia University, says she thinks the results would be similar if the study was conducted in the United States. "Many fruit drinks are excessively high in added sugars, as this study found. Yet, these are often marketed as healthful products, confusing parents and children," she said. Researchers recommended that when giving children fruit juice they should choose unsweetened juice, dilute juice with water, only serve it during meals, and limit the amount to about 5 ounces a day.
