Fruit juices do the same damage as sodas… in a fruit the sugar is not easily absorbed by the body due to the fiber, it is nature’s way of regulation and preventing damage to the body, a fruit juice has this balance destroyed and only the sugar squeezed out of the fruit causes blood glucose to skyrocket just like sodas would.
How many people have you seen drink an entire glass of Orange juice for breakfast and they are thinking this is actually HEALTHY! while infact they are pouring sugar down their throats and destroying their body.
The public health crisis is also caused due to lack of education. When most people think of sugar they think of sucrose – white table sugar.
They do not know that sugars include all starches rice, wheat, corn etc. (complex carbs). A starch is nothing but a chain of sugar (glucose) molecules. That means white rice, white bread etc. is JUST AS damaging as a can of soda – why not ban those as well?
I think education and personal responsibility is the key, not banning stuff.. people will find a way to drink it anyway.
