A Baylor College of Medicine study found that 100% fruit juice does not contribute to childhood obesity.
“Even among the children who consumed the most juice, we found no association at all with being overweight.” said Baylor Professor and study co-author Theresa Nicklas, DrPH, LN. Indeed, 2-3 year olds who drank the most 100% juice were three times less likely to be overweight.
