Are you like everyone else who thinks fruit drinks like these are healthy and empowered to keep the doctor away?
Do you feel its cool, fashionable trendy or in? just because the bottle is curvy, the drink pale like beer, sparkling and fizzy?
I won’t remotely consider this reconstituted from 2.86% concentrated apple juice with a long shelf life healthy.
The nature identical flavours are not natural, what you are guzzling down thinking every sip contributes to health is nothing but a sugar junk . The insignificant amount of fruit benefit is overshadowed by the significant amount of sugar harm in this drink .
WHO recommends no more than 6 tea spoons of added sugar per day, per person, be mindful of that before you use such drinks . Sugar has potential for abuse

lets see why Dr Aseem Malhotra says -Eat Your Fruit, Don’t Drink It in the following video

When the juice was reduced to 2.86% apple juice concentrate, how do you know the water content was not evaporated by heating the apple juice or how else would it turn to a concentrate, if so how much vitamin C and other nutrients suffered a loss?
Was the juice stored for a long period in the manufacturing units? Or was it immediately bottled and if so what was used as a preservative to provide a long shelf life?
The company claims this drink reconstituted from 2.86% concentrated apple juice= 20% real apple juice but how much of the nutrient loss took place in the whole extraction and refining process, no ones ever tell you that .
Once the juices are exposed to air and heat a lot of damage and oxidation happens to the juice.
On the contrary I think its cool to have a juicer at home and juice your own fruits, or even drink at juice centres . Its even better to blend or puree them and preserve the essential dietary fiber(that’s slows down the absorption of fructose that is otherwise metabolised by your liver)
No wonder sugar concentrated fruit juices if becomes a habit can cause you to have a sluggish fatty liver(non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).
If obesity is the side effect of these juices I wonder how they create health for anyone .
Go for drinks that are fruit juice blends(fiber retained) or fruit juice+vegetable juice combos without any added sugars .
Its the fiber that tames the insulin response to blood sugar as far as possible retain it or throw it back in your juice . .don’t always give in to your sweetness temptation.
Just in case you didn’t know the the bitter veggies are liver supportive, juice blend them with the sweet fruits .
I appreciate everyone who would rather drink coconut water, amul chass, nimbu pani or pure portable water .
How many of you actually know - coconut in any form is a super food.
Or try fruit infused water for a change, how many of you have actually tried that?
How many of you love to make smoothies with super foods, "berries "?
If you have never done that, its never too late .I appreciate the effects of all you guys out there who would rather spend some time and make a refreshing cup of green tea with lemon/ lime and honey or stevia(natural sweetener).I think thats not only cool its a smart move .
Guys be conscious of what you put in your mouth, create health and disease will go away as a side effect of creating heath.
No wonder wrong food choices in the words of Dr Aseem Malhotra do more damage than smoking, alcoholism and physical inactivity combined
