Fruit juices

.....................................................................

The best fruit you can drink is found in the fruit shop, where you buy your own fruit and and prepare it at home using a blender/fruit juicer. Add some water or soy milk and you will be set. However, in the process of preparing the juice most of the pulpy part is filtered out; and, as a result, the fibre component of the fruit is lost. Therefore, if you want to obtain the full benefits of fruit consumption then eat it, don't drink it!

All those fruit juices they sell in the supermarket are not nutritionally optimal since they are loaded with sugars, fat, sodium, additives (sweeteners), preservatives and food colorings. In addition, they are addictive in order to increase the sales rate of the food companies that produce them.

These companies use images/messages and product claims that far-fetched. Nutritionally they provide nothing, which warrant adequate control in terms of food labelling and packaging.
