Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.
The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.
100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.
BMI is a shit measure and studies like this are impossible to do well. That does not mean fruit juice is magically sugar-free.

I agree. The message should be; use in moderation. The message in the article and what many people are taking away though is avoid like soda and cigarettes.
