You're correct Guy. But, as you said, we consume juice in smaller servings, a glass a day wouldn't hurt,dump the soda!

Sounds quite unfair because it doesn't talk about vitamins, minerals and other kind of natural nutrition.

Keep this in mind when considering soda vs. juice!
The data continues to compile regarding the dangers of dark soda pop yet the public continues to consume those drinks.

The dangers, not just from caffeine and sugar, are predominately from phosphoric acid and aspertame.

The endocrine system, gastrointestinal sytem, cardiac function AND central nervous system functions are all adversely affected from this dangerous chemical cocktail.

Liquid nutrition is an alternative…getting electrolytes and antioxidants to improve health through natural beverages.

So its better to eat the fruit than drink it.

since when nutrition equals calories?
Fruit juice is the best vitamin, refresher and energizer you'll ever find on this planet. If you don't believe me study for 5 years like I did, get a degree like I did, and then you'll agree.

Until then stick to FRESH, natural fruit juice guys; there's nothing 100% natural now; but at least what's left of it.

You can get all the soda you want and leave the fruit juice for me, I won't mind. :)

this is how people are lead these ways to the "truth"

I love juice! Fruit juice is best fresh - if it's in a carton, the nutrients would be much less, though still more than soda (which doesn't have any!)

dont drink coke. instead of that, put soda water, caffeine, and 8 spoons of sugar and thats it! natural way.. cant find any reason to want this it anyway..
Of course make you own juices if you have time

i prefer Coca-Cola / Coke. No risk of contaminating the body of any nutrients, vitamins or anything else you need!

what an ignorant post

I wonder why we don't see any fat juice drinkers on the streets. Anyway sounds like stuff for the "super size me II" How about "super juice me"?

this post is misleading. Most soft drinks contain Phosphoric acid. <http: /> Despite the additional calories, the anti-oxidants and vitamins in juices make it a better choice.

How many calories in a cup of Sulfuric Acid? If it's less than 97 does that mean it's healthier than Coke and OJ?

hmm this is a bit misleading.

You should keep in mind, that one of the reasons soda is bad, is because it's carbonated, which causes the body to absorb sugars alot faster.

Sometimes, I have to wonder if these soda companies aren't paying for this misleading propaganda. Most fruit juice may be no better than soda, but it sure isn't just because of calories. Many fruit juices are loaded in high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and dyes, all of which isn't good for our bodies. However, soda is no better, as it contains all the aforementioned and more.

If you want a soda, make yourself a spritzer. Take some natural fruit juice and add it to sparking water. Voila.

No food or beverage is worse for you than soda, whether it's regular or diet. Aspartame is a known neurotoxin that breaks down into wood alcohol in your body. High-fructose corn syrup is just as bad.
How about orange juice? A glass of juice, whether fresh-squeezed or not, has about eight full teaspoons of sugar per eight-ounce glass. This is about as much sugar as a can of soda.
When the sugar is combined in its natural form in the whole fruit it causes far less of a problem as the fiber tends to slow the absorption of sugar and prevents a spike in your insulin levels. The sugar in orange juice is typically a fruit sugar called fructose, which many mistakenly believe is a “healthy” form of sugar.
Many popular orange juice brands are chemically altered so they can be stored year-round. This process strips out all of the orange flavor, which is replaced upon bottling by chemicals like ethyl butyrate - a compound that’s added to perfume as well - in order to make it taste and smell like oranges!
Further, many commercial orange juices are contaminated with mold from damaged fruit that is processed. So if you drink commercial orange juice regularly you will be exposed to these mold toxins.
You know you are buying a heavily processed juice if the “Best Before” date is 14 or more days in the future. Real fresh-squeezed orange juice will only last for a few days.

predatoratlarge - you should get a refund on that nutritional degree if you believe that about fruit juice. This is what passes for nutritional education in our universities? Of course, the food industry's "Smart Choices" program, which labels Froot Loops as "healthy", is endorsed by the Dean of the Nutritional School at Tufts University! Can you say "Corporate Influence?"

Calories is only part of the story. I'll take un-carbonated calories from a tree any day over high-fructose corn syrup that will actually make you hungrier or diet soda that makes you crave sweeter things and might be carcinogenic.

And don't forget to rinse your teeth with water after either. ;-)

fruit juice is best when used fresh; make your own fresh fruit or vegetable juice, without mixing different types of either of them; fruit juices are best served in the morning while vegetable juices go well in the second half of the day. Storing it will make most of its properties useless due to oxidation and other enzymatic processes that are ignited when the fruit itself is squeezed and the inner cell walls of the fruit tissue are destroyed.

I have tried them on myself and I could feel the difference. After working 16 hours/day in a highly stressful environment caffeine and supplements just won't help. I was surprised to see the effect of fruit and vegetable juices The very fist morning after I started using them. I should mention they were all home made.

Indeed, fruit juices have a high concentration of fructose which is less harmful than sugar itself in the form found in a soda-like beverage. This doesn't make fruit juices harmful unless you have weight issues or you suffer from diabetes.

You can still enjoy your soda but a long term consumption might bring unwanted side-effects on your health. One coke every once in a while won't hurt you for sure though. If you have equilibrium in your life and in your diet you won't really have to be so much concerned by this kind of details anyway.

fruit juice(s) help in fighting off h1n1. soda can't even come close. http://bit.ly/4m045N

Thomas Miskiewicz, How would you know if fat people drink juice or how much. What a prejudicial and ignorant comment. I know lots of skinny people who over eat and eat crappy food. I know lots of fat people who eat really well but don't exercise enough. And I know people who drink juice by the half gallon at one sitting. And lots of people who drink it in other large amounts. A friend who is a yoga instructor drinks a half gallon of OJ every day and one of the big jars of cranberry juice every day too. She has a ulcer and I can see why. Too much of anything is bad and the bad things we do to our body are not all Big Gulp related.

This is totally misleading...The calories are not as big of a deal as the type of sugar...if it is fresh juice, it will be simple sugars which are easier for the body to break down than the complex sugars in sodas. People need to take more time to learn about how their bodies work and not believe the hype about calories being bad.
