Consumption of 100% fruit juice is associated with weight gain in children. This has been shown by a study published in the journal. JAMA Pediatrics.
Scientists from the University of Toronto reviewed high-quality studies on the effects of juices on body weight in children and adults.
An analysis of 17 studies found that in children, each additional serving of 100% juice per day was associated with a 0.03 increase in body mass index. This indicator allows you to evaluate whether a person is overweight, obese or underweight, taking into account his height and weight.
Researchers found 25 studies on the effects of juices on adults. The data was inconsistent: Drinking juice increased the risk of weight gain by 210 grams. However, clinical studies with a comparison group did not reveal a significant relationship between juice consumption and body weight.
“Our results support recommendations to limit juice consumption to prevent excessive calorie intake and weight gain,” the authors write.
