56 grams of sugar total

Total sugar/serving:

28 grams

Total sugar/serving of a 12 oz. Coca Cola:

36 grams

Would you think that drinking more than 2/3's of a can of Coca Cola every morning would be healthy, if you were to add a bunch of vitamin C and whatever nutrients are present in Kiwi/Grapefruit to go along with it?



>> Ever use a juicer? Think about how many oranges it takes to make an 8 oz. glass. (It takes several, and if you tried to eat that many, you would be full halfway through due to the fiber.)

I was replying to that quote of yours, meaning that it doesn't take an excessive amount of fruit to make 8 oz. of juice.

I admitted that I don't know about the science of sugar, but I have a hard time believing that fresh fruit juice is equivalent to Coca Cola with some vitamins added in.
