Fruit juices undoubtedly offer a convenient alternative to whole fruit, and their health benefits have been assumed to be at least as good, if not better than their whole fruit counterparts. Unfortunately, many of us are not aware that juices can provide large quantities of unwanted extra calories. These calories come in the form of sugar, and the large quantities are due to the simple fact that it’s all too easy to consume a large glassful in one go, several times a day.
Sunsweet prune juice is perhaps the exception to the rule- although a small glassful (120-150ml is a portion) is a perfect accompaniment to breakfast, this is one juice we don’t generally drink to excess.
