BANISH FRUIT JUICE FROM RECOMMENDED FIVE A DAY?
Fruit juice should be removed from the recommended list of healthy things to eat daily because it is confusing for parents, say campaigners. ‘Action on Sugar’ found many children's juices contain at least six teaspoons of sugar - more
than cola - and come in cartons larger than recommended. Official advice currently says a 150ml glass of unsweetened fruit juice counts towards your five a day. A smoothie containing all the edible pulped fruit or vegetable may count as more than one five-a-day portion, but this depends on the quantity of fruits or vegetables or juice used, as well as how the smoothie has been made.
