Summary
Fruit drinks are not the same as fruit juices, and many beverages labeled as fruit drinks contain mostly water and sugar and only 10 percent actual fruit juice.

Details
- These are some of the misleading names you'll find on juice cartons at the supermarket.
- These labels give the impression that their contents are extracted from real fruit.
- Many assume fruit drinks are the same as fruit juices.
- Most people would be astonished to know how little fruit juice these beverages actually contain.
- The majority of "fruit" beverages, in fact, contain 10 percent or less real fruit juice.
- What does the other 90 percent consist of?
- These "fruit" beverages offer little or no nutritional value and are essentially flavored sugar water.
- Fruit drinks are stripped of vitamins that pure fruit juices naturally provide (just because a fruit drink is fortified with added vitamins doesn't make it nutritionally equivalent to fruit).
- Real fruit contains fiber---which slows absorption of the juice's natural sugar into the bloodstream.
- And fruit juice has naturally occurring, disease-fighting phytochemicals often absent in sugared beverages.
- Juice manufacturers are required to indicate on the label the percentage of actual fruit juice contained within the beverage.
- Look for the label that says "100% pure," and "no sugar or preservatives added."
- Fruit juice can play an important part in your vitality--- just make sure it's real!
