Juice Isn’t a No-Calories Elixir: Big Study Links 100% Fruit Juice to Weight Gain

A large meta-analysis published in JAMA Pediatrics found that each additional daily serving of 100% fruit juice is linked to weight gain in both children and adults (about a 0.03 BMI increase per serving in kids and 0.02 in adults). Experts say this may be due to extra calories and rapidly digested sugars from juice, plus the fiber lost when juicing. The takeaway is to prioritize whole fruit, choose 100% juice with no added sugars, limit juice to roughly 4–6 ounces if you drink it, and consider diluting with sparkling water to keep portions small while still enjoying the beverage.
