Consuming alcohol can be good for your heart, but you have to be a lazy smoker with an aversion to fruit and vegetables to reap the full benefits, suggests a Brit researcher.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the appropriate amounts of 100 percent juice daily for children of 1-6 years are 4-6 ounces, and the same figure for older children from ages 7-18 is 8-12 ounces daily.
In fact, the USDA Food Guide Pyramid has included guidelines for incorporating 100 percent juice as a fruit serving.
Also, fruit juices make up for substantial contributions of several nutrients in higher amounts in the diet as compared to whole fruits, including vitamin C, folate and potassium.
Besides, 100 percent fruit juice contains many naturally occurring phytonutrients that contribute to good health.
The findings have been published in the American Medical Association's Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine (AJLM).
