Why Does Juices With “no Added Sugar” Still Have So Much Sugar In It?
Posted by Zolly | Under Nutrition Wednesday Feb 10, 2010I was just looking at this cranberry juice container I’ve been drinking and it says 100% juice with no added sugar yet it still contains 34 grams of sugar in the nutrition facts. 34 grams is a lot and i doubt there are 34 grams of natural sugar in cranberries.
because fruit naturally has a lot of fructose and a handful of fuit doesnt really make a lot of juice. so you need a lot of fruit which makes more sugar. try vegetable juoce, low in sugar and more healthy
its most likely fructose
the sugar that is found naturally in fruits, so theres no need for adding more sugar if it already has sugar
i dont normally talk about other people answers but
dude, betty thats the 2nd time you’ve changed your answer to be similar to mine
Because fruit naturally contains sugar (fructose). If you want juice thats low in sugar, then drink vegetable juice.
And don’t forget, it takes a lot of cranberries to make a little bit of juice.
No reasons: fruit is high in fructose, a natural sugar… and NAS doesn’t mean it hasn’t got any in it. Only that they haven’t added any more once processing has been done. So really, it’s a bit of a con.
well there are
its called natural sugars and in fruit there are natural sugars that make the fruit sweet
I agree. Try making your own cranberry juice and it will NOT come out that sweet (believe me, I tried). It’s all bull****. They have to be doing something with that cranberry juice.
because fruit has natural sugar in it
Because some fruits are sweet without sugar!
Those are natural sugars from the fruit
