Fruit Juice & Obesity

Good old Jack LaLanne was right.

Referencing a survey of over 14,000 U.S. adults, researchers were able to determine that people who drink 100% fruit juice have…

• lower BMI measurements,
• lower waist circumferences,
• and lower levels of insulin resistance

…than non-drinkers of 100% fruit juice.

Does this mean that drinking 100% pure fruit juice will make you leaner & healthier?

Not necessarily.

A glass of freshly squeezed OJ isn’t going to counteract 8 straight hours of sitting on your butt playing Xbox while inhaling nachos & chugging light beers.

What it does mean is that people who drink 100% fruit juice are probably living a lifestyle that is healthier than the average non fruit juice drinker. And this healthier lifestyle results in leaner, healthier and sexier bodies.

The fruit juice is just one part of a healthy lifestyle.

Either way, old Jack was right.
