I think drinking such a concentrated source of carbohydrates is a poor nutrition choice for people with and without diabetes. Now there’s evidence that they contain some toxic substances. I can only hope that consumers will respond rationally and reduce their demand for this class of products.
As a child, I remember that we had “juice glasses,” a four ounce glass. Perhaps that was remnant from the times when orange juice was a luxury and only consumed in small serving size.
I would definitely be concerned if I had a child with diabetes and offered juice as the primary antidote for hypoglycemia. Due to a smaller body size than adults, children would seem to be particularly vulnerable to this contamination.
Thanks for raising this topic, @Mila. I recommend interested readers to click through the USA Today article and go to the Consumer Reports story.
Glad to see Juicy Juice 100% apple juice is on the better choice list. It’s the only one my daughter has ever liked. I can’t even guess at how many boxes we’ve used over the past 10 years.
