“…It should also be acknowledged that it is possible that those giving the recalls were unclear if they were consuming 100 % FJ or a fruit drink/ade. This confusion is also reflected in several studies reported in the literature that have assessed 'juice' consumption, but have been unclear as to whether this was 100 % FJ or fruit drinks/ades (1)(2)(3) . The AI cannot be used to determine the prevalence of inadequate intake in a group.…”

“…Consumption of 100 % fruit juice (FJ) by children and adolescents continues to be questioned since some scientists categorize 100 % FJ as a sweetened beverage (1)(2)(3) or believe that children consume excessive amounts of 100 % FJ (4) , which may be partly responsible for the paediatric obesity epidemic (4)(5)(6) . Although some studies have shown an association between 100 % FJ consumption and weight (4)(5)(6)(7) , the majority have not (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) .…”

Objective: To examine the contribution of 100 % fruit juice (FJ) consumption to dietary adequacy of shortfall nutrients by children and adolescents. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Secondary analysis of data from the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Subjects: Children and adolescents aged 2-18 years (n 7250). Usual intake, determined from two 24 h dietary recalls, was calculated using the National Cancer Institute method. The population was dichotomized into consumers or non-consumers of 100 % FJ. The age/gender-specific percentage of the two consumption groups with intakes less than the Estimated Average Requirement or that exceeded the Adequate Intake for selected nutrients was determined. A Z-statistic for differences in population proportions was used to determine significance (P , 0?05). Results: Children aged 2-5 years had the highest percentage of 100 % FJ consumers (71?1 %), followed by children aged 6-12 years (57?0 %) and adolescents aged 13-18 years (44?5 %). Compared with 100 % FJ consumers, a significantly higher percentage of non-consumers had intakes below the Estimated Average Requirement for vitamin A (24?4 (SE 2?5) % v. 42?2 (SE 2?5) %), vitamin C (0?1 (SE 0?2) % v. 38?9 (SE 4?1) %), folate (8?8 (SE 1?5) % v. 22?1 (SE 2?4) %), P (11?6 (SE 2?1) % v. 21?3 (SE 2?6) %) and Mg (25?8 (SE 1?7) % v. 46?1 (SE 2?0) %). A greater percentage of 100 % FJ consumers exceeded the Adequate Intake for K (2?4 (SE 0?5) v. 0?5 (SE 0?2) %) compared with non-consumers. Conclusions: Consumption of 100 % FJ is associated with improved nutrient adequacy and can contribute to a healthy diet.

“…Many cross-sectional studies have shown a positive association between consumption of sweetened beverages, mainly in teenagers, and body weight [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] (reviewed in [66]). Interventional studies further showed that adding sweetened beverages to the usual diet led to an increase in body weight [67,68], while reducing sweetened beverages intake in overweight subjects decreased body weight [69][70][71][72][73].…”

Fructose and metabolic diseases: New findings, new questions

There has been much concern regarding the role of dietary fructose in the development of metabolic diseases. This concern arises from the continuous increase in fructose (and total added caloric sweeteners consumption) in recent decades, and from the increased use of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as a sweetener. A large body of evidence shows that a high-fructose diet leads to the development of obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia in rodents. In humans, fructose has long been known to increase plasma triglyceride concentrations. In addition, when ingested in large amounts as part of a hypercaloric diet, it can cause hepatic insulin resistance, increased total and visceral fat mass, and accumulation of ectopic fat in the liver and skeletal muscle. These early effects may be instrumental in causing, in the long run, the development of the metabolic syndrome. There is however only limited evidence that fructose per se, when consumed in moderate amounts, has deleterious effects. Several effects of a high-fructose diet in humans can be observed with high-fat or high-glucose diets as well, suggesting that an excess caloric intake may be the main factor involved in the development of the metabolic syndrome. The major source of fructose in our diet is with sweetened beverages (and with other products in which caloric sweeteners have been added). The progressive replacement of sucrose by HFCS is however unlikely to be directly involved in the epidemy of metabolic disease, because HFCS appears to have basically the same metabolic effects as sucrose. Consumption of sweetened beverages is however clearly associated with excess calorie intake, and an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases through an increase in body weight. This has led to the recommendation to limit the daily intake of sugar calories.Pure, white, and deadly: the dark side of sugar was suspected many years ago, when an association between sugar consumption and coronary heart diseases was recognized and emphasized by John Yudkin [1]. Sugar, a natural sweetener obtained from either sugar cane or beets, is a disaccharide composed of one glucose molecule linked through an α1-4 glycoside bond to a fructose molecule. Fructose, besides contributing to half the total content of sugar, can also be found as a hexose in fruits and honey. More recently, sweeteners started to be produced from corn through starch isolation and hydrolysis to glucose, followed by enzymatic isomerization of part of the glucose into fructose [2,3]. The resulting mixture, known as high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), has several industrial advantages over sugar, the most important being its low price, and has progressively replaced sugar consumption in North America over the past 30 years.Fructose metabolism has been reviewed extensively elsewhere [4][5][6] and will be only briefly outlined here. In the gut, fructose is transported by specific transporters, GLUT5 [7,8]. In some subjects, fructose absorption is quantitatively limited, and some malabsorption occurs when lar...

“…However, the habit of drinking fruit juices to provide water and nutrients in the diet results in an increase in energy intake because of the sugar content of fruit derivatives. 2,3 Thereby, regardless of the healthy benefits of fruit juices 4 because of their content of vitamins, carotenoids and polyphenols, their consumption might increase the risk of obesity. 5 Consumption of orange juice has been boosted in recent years, especially in western countries.…”

Objective: To analyze the effect of the juice obtained from two varieties of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), Moro (a blood orange) and Navelina (a blond orange), on fat accumulation in mice fed a standard or a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Obesity was induced in male C57/Bl6 mice by feeding a HFD. Moro and Navelina juices were provided instead of water. The effect of an anthocyanin-enriched extract from Moro oranges or purified cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) was also analyzed. Body weight and food intake were measured regularly over a 12-week period. The adipose pads were weighted and analyzed histologically; total RNA was also isolated for microarray analysis. Results: Dietary supplementation of Moro juice, but not Navelina juice significantly reduced body weight gain and fat accumulation regardless of the increased energy intake because of sugar content. Furthermore, mice drinking Moro juice were resistant to HFD-induced obesity with no alterations in food intake. Only the anthocyanin extract, but not the purified C3G, slightly affected fat accumulation. High-throughput gene expression analysis of fat tissues confirmed that Moro juice could entirely rescue the high fat-induced transcriptional reprogramming. Conclusion: Moro juice anti-obesity effect on fat accumulation cannot be explained only by its anthocyanin content. Our findings suggest that multiple components present in the Moro orange juice might act synergistically to inhibit fat accumulation.
