Is drinking juice good for you?

To drink juice or not to drink juice? Tim Cassettari has been researching juice for the past 3 years, so we are in excellent hands as we cover the latest research on juice and health.

We cover: 

  • Why study juice?

  • What do dietary guidelines say about juice?

  • The latest research

  • Health benefits and health risks of juice

  • The effect of juice on satiety & weight, dental health, brain health, gut health

  • The optimal amount and type of juice

  • What about pulp?

  • The different types of juice processing and their effect on health

  • Why might 100% juice have health benefits?

  • How concerned should we be about sugars?

  • What to look for on the label

  • Practical considerations of juice

  • Bigger picture health & nutrition learnings that can be taken from juice

One-liners you don’t want to miss:

“Under extreme conditions juice can lead to worsening to some markers of dental health but we don’t actually have evidence to say that’s the case in normal circumstances.”

“100% juice can also improve markers of cardiovascular health and help to lower markers of chronic inflammation.”

“We now have 19 randomised controlled trials comparing 100% juice to non-calorie beverages, so that could be water, an artificially sweetened beverage. There is not one study that shows any change in body weight with 100% juice. ”
