There is no link between fruit juices and obesity.

It was said that fruit juices cause kids to become overweight. But a recent survey has proved it wrong.

The researchers measured and weighed the children and asked them about the types of food and drink they had consumed. They found that the children drank 4.1 fluid ounces of juice per day, which led to ingurgitating about 58 calories. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children 1 to 6 years old drink 4 to 6 ounces daily, and children and teens 7 to 18 years old, 8 to 12 ounces.

No link between drinking juice and being overweight was made. Moreover, these children had higher intakes of calories, carbohydrates, vitamins C and B6, potassium, riboflavin, magnesium, iron and folate and significantly lower intakes of total fat, saturated fat, discretionary fat and added sugar. They also ate more fruit than those who did not drink juice.

So this gives a clear idea that fruit juices have no connection with obesity.
