Bottled juices

What are some things to look for in bottled juices?

Check for the following:
  • 100% juice (sweetened with pear or apple juice, not sugar or sugar substitutes)
  • No added preservatives or artificial ingredients (ascorbic acid, aka. Vitamin C and other vitamins OK)
  • Dark juices (higher in antioxidants and beneficial sterols; including purple grape, pomegranate, blueberry, and raspberry)
  • Cranberry is good for urinary tract health.

Some examples:
  • Ocean Spray 100% Juice (no added sugar)
  • Dole Orange Pineapple Mango or Orange Banana Strawberry blends (refrigerated bottles and frozen concentrates)
  • Welch's Grape Juice (frozen concentrate)
  • 100% Orange Juice (primarily frozen concentrates; check the labels on refrigerated bottles or cartons)
