Current Events > TIL POM Pomegranate juice is just a sugar bomb with no nutrients

(+) Yeah! (+)

This whole time I assumed there would be something healthy in this but it's literally got 0% of any vitamins and just some potassium and a ton of sugar. 62 grams of sugar... in a 473 ml bottle. yikes.

Yeah, most juices are basically soda tier bad

They haven't been advertising it on American Ninja Warrior anymore. Maybe that's why.

I mean I imagined it would have at least vitamin C or something -_-

Not a bad idea, is there a company that makes this or is the only real option to make your own? (don't mind the latter).

This sounds a lot like the experience I had trying to find Cranberry Juice. The first 6 or 8 labels I checked didn't even have Cranberries in them.

Any way, supposedly the juices in the refrigerated section are more likely to be healthy, but you still need to check the labels especially for sugar and list of ingredients.

BTW, Cranberry Juice (the real one) is AWFUL! xD

I seen many fruit drink cartons that has pictures of lot of said fruit and guess what, most has about 5% fruit in it.

They charge a lot of money for those cartons, yet they hardly have any fruits that should be illegal.

What about Sorbet that is ice cream without any cows milk, guess what Morison sells sorbet and it has cows milk. I wrote an email they it should be called Sherbet not Sorbet if it has cows milk, they replied they are using the legal minimum amount so they have the right to call it Sorbet.

WTH what so difficult in calling it the right name? Why mislead customers? Looks like Morison no longer sell it, I was going to get proof but no longer sold.

I found it on amazon which Morison used to sell here is the link:

Image of ingriedent https://www.amazon.co.uk/Morrisons-Lemon-Sorbet-545g-Frozen/dp/B01BM9SRPC#immersive-view_1531419082869

Link to product https://www.amazon.co.uk/Morrisons-Lemon-Sorbet-545g-Frozen/dp/B01BM9SRPC

Called Sorbet but has cows milk.

Looks like both links takes to product link instead of one going to image. You will find the ingredient in the last image.

Lol that's more sugar per mL than this can of Mt. Dew I'm drinking.

Wish I could find a good juice...

sugar alone doesnt get you fat, fat and carbs combined does.

if a person craves sugar thats because the body is craving it because they are insulin resistant and the liver isnt in storing good enough amounts of glycogen.

why is most of america looking like a whale? its the oils, ditch the oils and you are on your way to a better future.

yeah juice is just as bad as soda, pretty shitty and deceptive when you think about it

you're far better off blending smoothies for a healthy drink
---

Mix that with sparkling water, and OH BABY ITS DELICIOUS

It is bad when juice has lot of sugar added, but it is worse when the juice has hardly any fruit.

It might as well be called flavored water to be honest.

What about diet soda like coke when they add aspartame, that isnt good.
---

Youre correct. Look at all of those trendy health drinks and compare it to a can of Coke. I use a can of Coke as my comparison standard for sugar with drinks because I know that if you drink one/day and then quit, you will lose weight.

Also compare granola bars to candy bars and compare those protein drinks and stuff. Another one to watch out for is those healthy, active cereals like Kashi. That stuff has the same level of sugar as Cinnamon Toast Crunch (my phone capitalized that for me).

Arguably worse.
Table sugar is about half fructose.
HFCS is a bit under half fructose, unless you're going for the 'high-proof' stuff.
Fruit juices are pretty variable, but will occasionally have vastly more fructose than any other sugar

According to this chart, pom juice isn't much different from an average soda, at all.

just because you dont like me it doesnt mean you have to reject what im saying.

you are probably one of the people that douses canola oil over salad trying to lose weight, or thinking that sugar causes diabetes.

just like notion that uvb rays cause cancer, if sugar made people diabetic no humans would be alive right now.

high fructose corn syrup was created by bad people, it damages the liver, stay far away from it.

sugar literally does cause diabetes type II. It is the result of your body developing a resistance to the insulin you produce to lower your blood sugar.

drink soda made with high fructose corn syrup = fatty liver

drink soda made with cane sugar = benefits thyroid and liver function

Maybe it's because I'm not really a liquids guy and only drink water, but I can't understand the appeal of opting for juice as opposed to the actual fruit, whole and delicious to bite into.

I love eating pomegranate like a bowl of cereal. I love peeling an orange and eating every individual piece. Mangoes are delicious and already pretty darn juicy without actually drinking a juice flavored one (which are always too sweet, and not in a good way)

Why do so many people like to drink stuff instead of eat stuff? I've noticed this as a near-universal thing going from place to place.

It's faster?

Wait you're phrasing that as being... a positive thing?

Same here I drink only water, so many juice with too much junk in it.

For those who wants pomegranate drink this is the best I seen: https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/POM-Wonderful-100-Pomegranate-Juice/116550011

Still better to eat the actual fruit in my opinion.

Both cane sugar and HFCS are high in fructose, Awesome. Both can benefit liver glycogen levels. HFCS has a greater ratio of fructose but it's not that much more. The main reason to opt for natural sugar is because it can come with vitamins and other micronutrients found in whole fruits but I'm not impressed by nonsense like organic cane sugar as an ingredient vs other types of sugar.

And how about this: BOTH sugar and vegetable oils are consumed way too much.

Why don't you guys just drink some damn water?

organic cane sugar

white sugar is essentially candy, organic or not.

That's my exact point, that it's a meaningless differentiation.
