How nutritious is your 100% fruit juice


If you drink 100 percent juice, is it as good for you as a whole fruit juice or vegetable? Yes and No . On the plus side, juice may contain more nutrients than a single piece of produce. An 8 ounce glass of orange juice has 100 mg. of vitamin C; and orange has 75 mg. But juice offers almost none of the fiber found in produce, and it packs calories. An 8 ounce glass of orange juice has 120 calories and O gram of fiber; an orange has only 60 calories and 3 grams of fiber. The bottom line: Make sure that you mostly eat whole produce.
