Childhood Obesity and the Consumption of 100 % Fruit Juice: Where Are the Evidence-Based Findings?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fructose, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sucrose and Health

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Key Points

  • 100 % fruit juice is rich in nutrients, and it is a low fat, low saturated fatty acid, and low sodium beverage with no added sugars.

  • Children are not consuming excessive amounts of 100 % fruit juice, and mean intakes are within the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations.

  • The strength of the scientific evidence shows that 100 % fruit juice is not associated with weight in children.

A portion of this work appeared in O’Neil CE, Nicklas TA. A Review of the Relationship between 100 % Fruit Juice Consumption and Weight in Children and Adolescents. Am J Lifestyle Med. 2008;2:315–354. Sage Publishers and is used with permission.
