Elementary school children who regularly consume juice and other fruit drinks are about twice as likely to be overweight or obese . This shouldn't be newsworthy, but at least it helps make more people aware, although does not seem to be the motivation the we need as a country to make the necessary changes for our children's health!

And the more juice children drink, the more likely they will be too fat, a Victorian study shows. The results are based on a survey of the dietsof almost 2200 Victorian children
The study shows that juice and other fruit drinks, including cordial, are a bigger problem than soft drink in childhood obesity.
A one-day snapshot showed that about 75 per cent of children drink at least one glass of juice and 25 per cent drink more than three glasses, while only 16 per cent consume soft drink.
"Soft drinks aren't really the issue in primary school children — it's fruit juice and drinks," study author Andrea Sanigorski said. "For kids up to about 12 years of age, parents may limit soft drinks but they may not be aware that fruit juice and drinks can be bad for their health as well."
Parents were asked what their children usually ate and drank, and what they had consumed the previous day.
The study found no link between weight and consumption of fast foods and packaged snacks. However, the link to fruit drinks, which contain some nutrients and vitamins, but are high in sugars, was stark.
Compared to the children who had not had any juice or fruit drinks the previous day, those who had two or three serves were 1.7 times more likely to be overweight or obese. Those who had more than four glasses were 2.1 times more likely to be too fat.
"It doesn't fill you up, you drink it often between meals and it just adds sugar to your diet. You have to question why children need it," Dr Sanigorski said. "But they are marketed as drinks for kids — I don't blame the parents."
Dr Suzy Honisett, manager of the Victorian Government's child health program, Kids Go For Your Life, said many parents and carers wrongly believed juice and fruit drinks were a healthy alternative to soft drinks.
read the labels and compare for yourself the amount of carbs/aka SUGAR compared to these 'from concentrate' juices and soft drinks!
A 10-ounce bottle of their most popular Apple Juice has 140 calories and 34 grams of carbs! WOWSA! and even more interesting, on the Minute Maid site, when you ask for nutritional info on the 15.2 ounce bottle, it only gives you the info for 8 ounces!!! I guess they don't want to point out that ONE bottle has around 240 calories and 60 grams of CARBS!!--they must figure most people won't do the math to figure out the whole bottle! Can you say "deceptive marketing tactics? I knew you could!
"We are certainly aware of the issues around soft drinks and their role in childhood overweight and obesity, but fruit juice has slipped under the radar," she said.
"It is easy to believe that fruit juice is natural, healthy and full of vitamins (but) it contains concentrated sugars." Concern is also growing over the impact of sugary drinks on children's teeth. Fiona Preston, the health promotion manager at Dental Health Services Victoria, said reports were increasing of preschool children having their baby teeth removed because of decay, caused largely by sweet drinks including fruit juice.
"Fruit juice, fruit drinks and cordials are all as bad as each other because they all have high concentrations of sugar in them — whether it's natural or artificial it's still sugar. Particularly with young children, we suggest they should only be drinking water or milk," she said.
And guess what the real kicker here is? The American Beverage Ass's own voluntary guidelines for taking soft drinks out of schools' vending machines, calls for putting MORE fruit juices in the vending machines!
Bottom line, they don't give a damn about the health our or our kids, the decay of our teeth or the deaths caused each year because of the Obesity Pandemic--they care ONLY about selling you more of their products.
WHY can't they just sell water? They would still make profits and we wouldn't be pumped up with sugar, caffiene, aspartame or carbonation! WATER, it is the very essence of our healthy bodies and they do have the opportunity to do mankind a better service and still make money!
I keep playing phone tag with Teresa Halliday, the spokesperson for the American Beverage Ass, I have a few questions about soft drinks and now am adding juices to the list! I will let you know what I find out!
Update: I just got off the phone with Teresa Halliday--she's very good at what she does, I can assure you of that. Her job is to talk about the beverage makers who are part of the Association, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Schweeps--the 3 biggies.
I asked her if the fruit juices that are part of the voluntary alliance initiative guidelines w/ Bill Clinton/Healthier Generation, the American Heart Association and to get soft drinks out of schools are made w/ concentrated fruit juice--she didn't know and had never been asked that before. Claiming they are made w/ concentrated fruit juice allows the makers to evade the sugar added ingredient disclosure on the label. If it is 100% fruit juice, they say that, regardless of if that fruit juice came from concentrate which usually has sugar added. What a sticky wicket.
So, she can't/won't say if these are more sugar filled than a soft drink. But I can. The 8 ounce serving of "100% fruit juice" has 110 calories and around 25 grams of sugar--a typical soft drink is 12 ounces and has around 150 calories and 25 ounces of sugar--so ounce per ounce, the fruit juice would appear to be MORE sugar filled and less healthy.
But hey, guidelines are guidelines, and we can rest assured, after all Bill Clinton and the American Heart Association endorses this, so it MUST be good--not to mention the 8$ MILLION dollars that the Robert Wood Johnson foundation paid to someone to help get these guidelines implemented 5 years after coming up with them.
That is what really bugs me about this initiate. They announce it, say that beverage leaders are voluntarily going to remove the unhealthy stuff from our schools--but they have 5 years to get around to doing it. (Teresa says it takes a lot of education to let schools understand why this is helpful for the kids).
I asked the obvious question that begs asking; if you KNOW that regular soft drinks are so bad for the students, "WHY is it taking FIVE years to get the changes done, why not just fill the machines up with all water next time they are empty?"
She said because serving sizes, manufacturing, etc all take time to make. I said "but wait, the machines already have some water bottles in them, we KNOW those size bottles fit in the machines and meet the guidelines, why not just fill it with all water?" She said "change takes time".
Well?...
