Okay . . . so today, let's discover what the word "CONCENTRATED" means . . . and why it's "SO" bad for our health and our "CHILDREN'S" health.
When something is labelled . . . "from concentrate" . . . it means it's gone through a "process" where the "juice" is "EXTRACTED" from the fruit . . .
It then gets "filtered" and "dehydrated" to REMOVE the "water" content . . .
This is called "pasteurizing" . . .
This process involves gently heating the liquid to kill any potential pathogens found in the fruit.
And with this process . . . this fruit juice is now a "naturally" occurring "SUGAR" . . . and it "CAN" be added to products to sweeten the taste.
Now . . . even though . . . the FDA states:
"Concentrated fruit juice" . . . CAN NOT be used as a sweetener in a product labeled "NO SUGAR ADDED" . . .
This products I've been researched "Plezi Fizz" . . . and MANY OTHER PRODUCTS . . . DO JUST THAT . . .
You see . . . "concentrated juice" . . . is a thick, syrupy liquid made by "removing" 90% of the water from the fruit and/or vegetable juice . . . through a process of filtration, evaporation and pasteurization
And through this process . . . it "ALSO" . . . REMOVES . . . most of the "nutrients" and "fiber" from the fruit and/or vegetables used.
Therefore . . . what you're "left with" . . . is a thick syrup loaded with "SUGAR"!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO, HOW CAN THIS BE BETTER FOR OUR CHILDREN???
Juice made "from CONCENTRATE" . . . is YES . . . "free" from "added sugars" . . .
BUT . . . it's still LOADED with "SIMPLE SUGARS" that "SPIKE" OUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS . . .
WHICH STILL CAN CAUSE "INSULIN" ISSUES AND "OBESITY"!!!
AND . . . in many cases this "concentrate" . . . is NOT free . . . from preservatives.
So, in a nutshell . . . these "juice concentrates" . . . are very "HIGH" in sugar . . .
And with this . . . "concentrates" will . . .
Spike blood sugar . . . more quickly than traditional fruit
Slash benefits ranging from body tissue formation to immune system response
And contains a lot of "added" sugar . . . with little "fiber" benefits to the beverage.
Okay . . . so, it gets worse people . . .
And tomorrow . . . we'll find out how . . .
