Lower The Risk Of Heart Disease By Limiting The Worst Foods For Your Heart
The "Fruit" In Fruit Juice Hardly Helps
Although fruit juice contains one healthy ingredient (fruit), it still packs in artificial sweeteners. According to Nutrition, the average fruit juice contains 45 grams of added sugar, not much less than the 50 grams in soda. These sugars do not help your fight against heart disease.
In the journal Circulation, scientists reported that the more sugar drinks you consume, the higher your chance of heart disease. Sugar increases blood pressure, inflammation, and weight gain, all of which harm the heart. Do yourself a favor, and cut back on fruit juice.
