What was the health danger pointed out in the recent report advising against drinking fruit juice daily?
May 19th, 2010
I’m not at all addicted to fruit juice, but (because I’m an older guy) I’ve been forcing myself to drink a lot of cranberry juice (daily) the past few years because of cranberries’ positive effect on urinary health.
A few days ago I heard about the report that drinking fruit juice on a daily basis dramatically increases some serious negative health condition–but I do not recall what that condition is. Anyone know?

The most recent problem with fruit juices is the sugars they naturally contain. Fructose, and other sugars, lead to weight gain. This weight gain is primarily in and around the belly. Belly fat is the most dangerous fat. It can decrease ones ability to open the diaphragm and breath properly and cause heart problems. The sugar in fruit juices can cause a rise in insulin levels and increase the risk of diabetes.
If you are drinking the sugar free calorie reduced ( so they don’t just substitute the sugar for fructose or other sugars) and you only drink a cup or two a day, it don’t think it would hurt you at all. I used to drink a cranberry juice that had like 30 calories a cup. That one should be fine for you.
Other dangers of fruit juices are they may interact with some medications, especially grapefruit juice and grapefruits, some orange juice and apple juices
Other dangers are from drinking unpasteurized fruit juice and these have sometimes carried diseases like salmonella.
I hope this has answered your question
Just drink fruit juice in the morning, water throughout the day, a glass of milk for dinner. Over dueing it with fruit juice isn’t good actually. weird huh?
