100% juice

[Anonymous]

I don't understand what is a 100% juice and what is a 42% or 50% juice. What is the remaining percentage? Is it sugar water?

[Anonymous]

What does the label say?

[Anonymous]

Label lists all of the ingredients. Does 100% mean just the fruit? Trop 50 is "half the calories" but it is also less than 100% juice. I don't get it.

Probably has artificial sweeteners, water, other preservatives.

another thing to consider is if it says 100% grape juice than it is all grape, but if it says grape 100% juice then it may be as little as 10% grape and 90% other juices (usually apple)

Read the ingredient list.

Trop 50 is just watered down OJ, as are all the lite juices

But trip 50 is less than 100% juice. I can't imagine that water reduced the juice percentage ?

What do you mean? If it's 50% juice, then the other 50% is something else, likely water -- so of course it reduces the juice percentage.

yes, this is what I want to know. What is the other fifty percent? Simple water can reduce the juice percentage?

[Anonymous]

Of course.

There is little juice in juice. It's mostly sugar, and nutritionally equivalent to soda.

That's not really true. It's caloric value may be very similar to soda, but 100% juice does have phytonutrients. It's not as good as a whole fruit, but it is better than soda.

So is 100% juice better than 50% juice?

Depends what the other 50% is.
