A lot of the "fruit juice" (in America, at least) contains just as much HFCS as soda.
I don't know if this is the case in the rest of the world or in this study though.
- shawabawa3 12y agoI'm fairly sure in the UK you can't legally call fruit juice with added sugar/sweeteners "juice" - it would have to be fruit drink or something
- boydjd 12y agoIt's the same in the US ... except you can call it "juice drink" or "juice cocktail", which isn't very clear.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoWow that's weird, if I heard "juice cocktail" I'd think Mango and Orange or something. "Juice drink" is plain misleading.
- andor 12y agoThat's what we have regulations for ;-) Everything called "fruit juice" in the EU needs to be 100% juice (but it can be made from concentrate).
- Symbiote 12y agoOf the ~20 countries I've visited I think only the US had HFCS in the fruit juice. (It tastes funny/unfamiliar, so I notice.) Instead they contain sugar, natural or added, and about as much as cola (~10%). The cola also has sugar instead of HFCS.
- adventured 12y agoThe US Government's vast, and continued, subsidization of corn is what led to the creation of HFCS. Makes sense, unfortunately, that the US would be drowning in it.
