Hasn't this been well known for a couple decades now? Or is this just confirmation of that?
Replace fruit juice with soda in the title and no doubt it’s a slam dunk, but I personally didn’t realize how much sugar’s in fruit drinks until I entered it into a calorie tracker. I’m guessing fruit juice is slightly less bad compared to soda, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn most people are oblivious to how “not good” fruit juice is for them. Probably some, “Well, fruit is good for me, so fruit juice must be okay, too.”
This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, but I've never voiced it because I didn't feel like taking on the "you're an idiot" stares.
But seriously, I drink a diet soda and I'm supposed to feel shitty because "soda is bad" while someone chugs a sugary glass of juice and that's supposed to be healthier? Can I compromise and drink a Fresca? Lol
a drink being nutritious is not the same as being healthy
100% juice is all natural stuff that you body is used to procesing for milions of years, but yeah you're gonna get fat if you chug it like there no tomorrow
soda is some random shit thrown together, articifial sweetners, coloring etc.
Equating "natural" with "good" is called the naturalistic fallacy for a reason.
What natural stuff, specifically?
Mushrooms are natural, but choose wrong and you'll have a very bad day.
fruit
People who hate on diet soda aren't worth taking seriously.
Fresca fucks
People treating "healthy" like an essential quality something either does or does not have has irritated me for decades.
For example, one lens of "health" is "non-toxic." If you know, toxicity requires a quantity. Nobody ever talks about quantity, I swear to god.
People at the restaurant I used to work in would look me dead in the eyes and say "oHh, eating healthy today, hUH?" over a salad I'd loaded with bacon, cheese and ranch. There wasn't a single time I didn't just flatly answer "Is it?"
