5 Juices With More Sugar Than Soda in Time.com, Men's Health@MensHealthMag May 18, 2014

Excerpts:
"That "health" drink is anything but
Lovers of bottled fruit juices may have to rethink their infatuation. A new report from researchers at the University of Glasgow in the U.K. equated your glass of fruit juice to your can of soda—just with a few more vitamins. And your perception of how healthy juice actually is can be way off as well. When researchers polled more than 2,000 adults, people underestimated the sugar content in juice by a whopping 48 percent."

"1. Ocean Spray 100% Cranberry Juice"
Though it boasts “no sugar added,” the juice is sweetened with grape and apple juice concentrates, contributing to 36 g of sugar per cup."

"2. Tropicana Berry Punch"
"With only 5 percent juice in the blend and high fructose corn syrup listed as the second ingredient, this juice drink will add 29 g of sugar to your day in just one cup."

"3. Minute Maid Enhanced Pomegranate Blueberry"
"Contains 29 g of sugar per cup from a blend of five fruit juices from concentrate: apple, grape, pomegranate, blueberry, and raspberry. "

"4. Jamba Juice Kale Orange Power"
"However, the juice is made with more OJ and banana than the green stuff, and the sugar content is 40 g per 16 oz cup."

"5. Welch’s Essentials Orange Pineapple Apple Juice Cocktail"
"The label boasts “no high fructose corn syrup” and that’s true, but it also contains added sugar for a total of 31 g per cup."

FYI 4 grams equals 1 teaspoon, trans fats and sugar, particularly fructose, will increase inflammation
