Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.

The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.

100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.

    No it is not false. You just misunderstood what I wrote or what is written in the paper.

    I explain to you: We do not need to produce Insulin to metabolise Fructose. Because Fructose can enter cells without it. The Insulin produced in response to a high dose of intravenously administered Fructose (like in the 1980 study you posted) never gets active in the cells, so to speak.

    The potential negative health effects of that are discussed in several articles, more recent ones at well. But this effect is only relevant for the high direct doses of these studies design, which also often combine it with other sugars. It’s not relevant for the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
