Drinking 100% Juice Does Not Make Children Overweight

Of course not. Never did and never will.

"In children who drink 100% fruit juice regularly there is no increased risk of being overweight in comparison to their peers who do not, according to a report released on June 2, 2008 in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

The obesity levels in the United States, not just in adults but also in children, have reached record highs, and this phenomenon is often referred to as an "obesity epidemic." The negative effects of obesity on health are clearly documented, and as a result, investigation into the causes of this trend are important to reverse it. Patterns of food consumption are likely to play a role weight gain in children, and drinking juice has been associated with being overweight and obese in some studies but not in others."

Only overconsuming Calories makes children, adults, pets, wild animals or any organism overweight.

What a waste of research time, effort and resources.

Like paying people not to grow crops, researchers are paid not to grow smart.
