It's not good for you. I've always known that eating the actual fruit is healthier than just the juice of the fruit. Since I was diagnosed as diabetic over 20 years ago I have to keep juice handy in case my sugar drops. I keep small apple juice boxes in the cars, every purse, bedside table...actually one is always handy and has saved me from serious complications many times.
If you compare it to soda, its about the same nutritionally except it gives you more nutrients.
A guest on a radio show put it this way. If you put three or oranges on a table, and have a kid juice them, he will down the glass of orange juice and ask great, whats for breakfast?
If you peel the oranges and tell him to eat them he will throw up on the third or fourth orange, he can't eat anymore.
No there is a difference. With real fruit juices you are getting enzymes that are cancer preventing and helps digestion. However, large quantity of juices ups your sugar intake level.
Sodas are bad not just the sugar because the preservatives and color chemicals are bad for your health.
Wanna know why soda are unhealthy? Because it kills good bacteria from your stomach that helps you get rid of foods that are difficult to digest.
Enzymes are reason I drink and eat assortment of fruits especially from the tropics.
An interesting thing about juices you buy...rather than juice yourself...is the fruit
is stored in big bins...and there so many full of mold.
If interested in what happens to your blood after a glass of oj "The Ph Miracle" by Dr. Robert young is pretty interesting.
I drink juice for a quick hit of vitamins. Particularly the green ones. Or I mix it with sparkling water for a fun drink that is healthier than soda. But give me an orange over oj any day.
Prune juice has a good amount of fiber, iron, potassium, and vitamin B6, all critical in pregnancy, so it has been a go-to hydrator in each of my pregnancies. Other than that, not a juice drinker.

It tells you something about dietary fiber.
Please explain how soda has the same nutritional value as juice when soda has ZERO vitamins. Of course juice gives you more nutrition. Isn't that a good thing?

Thanks for posting this. I never drink prune juice now but loved it as a kid. Time to buy prune juice again for me.
