What does "CONCENTRATED" mean?

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 . . .
