The Truth About Fruit Drinks

Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble and other companies market non-carbonated drinks that pretend to be rich in fruit juice (and nutrients), but are basically sugar water. Coca-Cola Co.'s Fruitopia and Hi-C, for example contain only 5% to 10% fruit juice. But they contain about as much (or more!) sugar as carbonated soda pop. Don't be fooled by the vitamin C or other nutrients added to these products. They're still basically junk.
