Better to eat the fruit....

They say it's a good idea to eliminate soft drinks from your diet. But what should you replace it with? If you said fruit juice, you'd be very wrong. Some doctors are trying to get the word out that fruit juice contains a lot of sugars that can be just as bad or worse than soft drinks. Excerpt:

"People incorrectly think juice is natural and healthy simply because it's extracted from fruit. But there's nothing natural about extracting juice from fruit," says Lustig. "It's the fruit in its entirety that's good for you. The human body needs the fiber, which is what holds the fruit together. The fiber is the good part of the fruit and the juice is the bad part of the fruit. The juice is nature's way of getting you to eat your fiber."
