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.

      Contaminated maybe? Fruit products can carry things like E. coli or salmonella if exposed.

          Even if they’re cleaned “regularly” it’s still possible a kid who just scratched their butt crack with their bare hands could have touched the nozzle for giggles right before you got there.

      Do you always have it in conjunction with coffee or eggs?

      Never had that problem with those dispensers personally.
