Pure fruit juice no threat to kids' weight gain

Bethany noted new fruit juice research this morning, and I had to get it off my brain as well. New research shows that consuming 100% fruit juice does not make young children overweight or at risk for becoming overweight. In what I consider a "duh" moment in research, I'm glad this research showed what many in the health community already knew -- moderate fruit juice intake (100% fruit) does way more good than any harm.

The worry is "fruit-flavored" drinks that are nothing more than high-fructose corn syrup, water, artificial color and a tiny amount of juice. 100% pure fruit juice is really the only kind that is healthy, and even though it is more expensive, it's worth every penny.

My favorite for the time being (since it can be found almost anywhere)? Naked Juice -- it's great -- although only 8 ounces at a time is good for most I believe.
