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.

    Colombian juice is thicker, still has a lot of fiber in it.

      Definitely not the stuff we were drinking–it affected us both, and hubby was actually born there.

        Oof well bad juice is just bad juice anywhere I guess. For the record I love Colombian juice. It was one of my favorite parts of my trip there.

          Oh we loved it too, but we needed to have more fiber in our diet to compensate. Next time we’ll eat more salad or something.
