Poll of the Day > i have this grape juice that tastes just awful.

it tastes like wine, but like really super cheap wine.

Juice in general is bad. My kid has metal teeth because of too much juice. Oh yeah.
---

Yeah that looks terrible and probably super pasteurized bleh
---

it is nega pasteurized
---

"Grape Juice can be red or white. ... The juice must then be pasteurized immediately so that it won't ferment into wine. The juice must be 100% juice to be called grape juice in America."
---

thank you for that useless bit of trivia

we all know what pasteurization means
---

Apparently not since you said it tastes like wine and then he said it's probably super pasteurised.
---

i said it tastes like wine

because that's what it fucking tastes like

I don't actually see the word "grape" on that bottle...

I have never heard of those before. Well... I guess those just don't make good juice. I'd stick with the more traditional concord grape juice.

no, they don't

they're used mostly for wine

What's your BMI TC? I'm guessing something horrendous, as people with normal BMIs would know to avoid that shit.

Fail.

Ok, I'll try and explain this as if I were teaching preschoolers.

Sugar - bad. More sugar - more bad. Bad = fat. Fat bad.

Does that make sense now, pumpkin? And nice job not answering what your BMI is, that speaks volumes.

Not all juice has added sugar in it and not all fat is bad. Also pumpkin is healthy.

Not all juice has added sugar in it and not all fat is bad. Also pumpkin is healthy.

Even without added sugar, juice is typically very, very sweet. There's a lot of sugar in fruit, but it's significantly diluted (so to speak) by all of the fibre and other nutrients found in the pulp of the fruit. If you juice your own fruit (and therefore get all of that extra stuff in there), it's fine, but commercial juice strips out most or all of the pulp (even orange juice with pulp), leaving mostly sugar.

If you look at the nutritional information for juice, it'll often be pretty comparable to what you'd get into a similar serving of pop. There are other nutrients that mean they aren't empty calories like you get from pop, but there's also a high fructose content (which bypasses the first regulatory step in glucose metabolism and can therefore contribute to insulin resistance), so it's still important to limit how much you're drinking.

so it's still important to limit how much you're drinking.

this applies to every single thing, though, so it really doesn't mean much in this context.

drinking grape juice, or juice in general, isn't going to make you fat, nor is there any correlation between body mass index and juice

grape juice doesn't even have any fat content, either.



i think it's more that the new user named herpes is just your standard alt hiding angsty boi.

Go with the organic non-pasturized orange juice from Trader Joes.

Then worship me for bringing joy to your life.

Juice is particularly easy to drink an unhealthy amount of, and unlike pop it doesn't have the social stigma associated with it to remind people of that.

Anything with a high glycemic index contributes pretty significantly to the risk of obesity.

Obesity isn't something that just happens like a disease. It's from people not moderating their intake so there is no "risk" in that way.

grapes are actually on the low end of the glycemic scale

their load is relatively weak, as well.
