people often assume that

a
the United States, drinking too much juice is also harmful to health and has a higher risk of death than carbonated beverages.
university researchers analyzed previous survey data to come to this conclusion. The survey involved 13,440 Americans over the age of 45, and over a six-year period, 168 people died of coronary heart disease and 1,000 from other causes. The study showed a 24 percent higher risk of death for every 355 milliliters of juice consumed per day, and an 11 percent increased risk of death for every 355 milliliters of sugary drinks consumed daily, including obesity. The researchers were not surprised by the results, as 100% fruit juice is "very similar" to the ingredients of sugary drinks.
" 100% juice contains some vitamins and phytonutrients, which are not found in most sugary beverages, but the main ingredients of both drinks are sugar and water. Although the sugars contained in sugary beverages are added to the process and 100% of the sugars contained in fruit juices are natural, they trigger the same biochemical reactions in the body's metabolism. The researchers said. However, moderate consumption of fruit juice is not unavailable compared to carbonated beverages, "because fruit juice contains vitamins and minerals, moderate consumption is still better than carbonated beverages and other sugary beverages." Jana Welch, a professor at Emory University and one of the researchers, said. The study appears in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, Open Web. Yuan Yuan.
