Episode Transcript

Dr. Gellner: Juice, especially a 100% fruit juice is healthy. It's made with fruit. Sorry, that's outdated thinking. I'll address this old wives' tale and give you the updated scoop on today's Scope. I'm Dr. Cindy Gellner.

Announcer: Remember that one thing that one person told you that one time about what you should or shouldn't do with raising your kids? Find out if it's true, or not. This is Debunking Old Wives' Tales with Dr. Cindy Gellner on The Scope.

Dr. Gellner: I get asked this all the time. "How much juice can I give my baby, my toddler, my 人妻中出视频?" Parents feel the need to give their 人妻中出视频 fruit juice. It's what they were raised on, so it's got to be good for their 人妻中出视频. Right? A 100% fruit juice is healthy. Just like the fruit the juice was made from. Makes sense right? But that's wrong.

The bottom line is juice isn't all that healthy at all. In fact, unless I'm recommending it for constipation, I tell parents not to give babies under a year old any juice. For kids older than a year, I always say, "Drink juice in moderation. It's pure sugar and calories." In fact, store bought juice is nicknamed "liquid candy," just like soda is. Think about it.

Four ounces of lemon lime soda has 12.6 grams of sugar and 46 calories. Four ounces of apple juice has no fiber, 60 calories and 13 grams of sugar. Compare that to a 1/2 a cup of apple slices which has 1.5 grams of fiber, 30 calories and 5.5 grams of sugar. Big difference.

Real fruit has fiber, which makes it less likely to cause cavities and more helpful if constipation is an issue in older kids. Children need to learn how to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, not drink them. New guidelines for older kids are four ounces daily for 人妻中出视频ren ages 1 to 3, 6 ounces daily for 人妻中出视频ren ages 4 to 6, and only 8 ounces for 人妻中出视频ren ages 6 to 18.

While some companies and organizations state that real fruit juice is a nutritious complement to whole fruit in balanced diets for older 人妻中出视频ren, or even marketed as a way to add vitamin C and flavor variety to a baby's diet, the recent statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics states that juice has no essential role in healthy balanced diets of 人妻中出视频ren. Studies also warn that infants currently drinking juice are more likely to want to drink soda and other sugar containing drinks when they get older.

Juice and other sugary drinks contribute to weight gain and tooth decay that we pediatricians see all the time in young 人妻中出视频ren. By changing these guidelines and getting kids to cut down on juice, hopefully there will also be a decrease in cavities and obesity.
