Liquid Sugar

Fruit juice contains roughly the same amount of sugar per serving as soda, and some juices contain more. Commercial juice processing destroys its protective nutrients. Commercial juice is often concentrated, stored in industrial tanks for up to a year, then reconstituted with water before packaging. Consuming soda or juice forces the body to deplete its own B vitamins, magnesium, and other micronutrients to metabolize the sugar load, creating a net nutrient deficit.
