Fruit or juice?
by Dr CM Nautiyal on Aug 22, 2005 02:10 PM

Well, we have long heard about the value of fruit being more than mere juice which has no fibre and has something additional to what is left in juice. That's true. There are some other sides to it. One is that the pesticides etc. used by farmeres rather indiscriminately are not gone after usual washing in the litchen. Besides, sometimes, they may have penetrateddeeper than the outer peel and there ismno way of knowing, This much for our old adage of eating with skin. Second, the fine print on the 'fruit drinks' is seldom clear. Some used to claim (still do?) no fruit pulp. Some popular ones declare fruit juice, sugar and permitted flavours among contents. But how much is the real juice and how much is the syrup with flavour?
Any gueses?
