I have a question. I drink a lot of 100% Welches Grape juice, is that fatting?

Question

Should I stop drinking it so much?

Answer 1

I love that stuff, and it's good for you.

Answer 2

Well... you won't find any fat in grapes, but there is plenty of sugar, thats what fernents to make wine. If you consume too much "grape juice", your body will process the sugar and turn it into fat. You would be better off eating concord grapes, then you would get the fiber from the grape skins, which would slow down the absorption of the sugar. Cut out the middle man (grape juice processor" and you will have a healthier food!

Answer 3

its loaded with sugar!
some good qualities for use once in a while. only the purple stuff.
way better than soda or those chemical drinks though.
try more water or flavored waters and change juices.

whole fruits with the fiber and more vitamins other things are far better than processed foods/juice.

if you have lots of sugar daily you may be on the soon to be diabetic- lose a leg diet. watch your total sugar intake. and that's a lot of calories for so little reward.

Answer 4

There is no fat in grape juice. Its good that you're drinking %100 grape juice, but remember that juices are very calorie dense and they contain a lot of carbohydrates, even with no sugar added. I usually mix my juice with plain or sparkling water to reduce the calories and carbs.

Answer 5

Here is a much simpler way to answer your own question. You say you drink a lot of it? Run into the kithchen, and look on the nutrition facts on the back of the container of juice. What does is say under total fat? Zero, that is right, because fat is oil, and oil and water do not mix. Grape juice is very high in sugar, and usually has lots of high fructose corn syrup, which the body your body processes quickly, which blocks your bodies use of body fat as a fuel, and can turn into fat like all sugars, when eaten in excess.

Answer 6

Spot on. The Bible mentions WINE 141 times...never grape juice!!! Psalm104:15.."...and wine to gladden men's hearts"....grape juice never gladdened anything. Neither Noah nor Lot got falling-down drunk on grape juice. And there is no reason for anyone to insist that Jesus changed water into grape juice... As described by Daniel-Rops in "Daily Life in the Time of Jesus"...the typical wine was a full bodied deep purple wine, rich in both alcohol and tannin. It was usually served mixed with water." To suggest that after the wedding guests at Cana had drunk all of the "BEST" wine, Jesus then give them 'grape juice' is just silly. Why do tea-tottlers try to add to, or change, the bible, when it is expressly forbidden to do so????

Answer 7

Well it probably isn't good because of the sugar and sodium in it. There shouldn't be any fat in fruit juice, but you never know. Look on the bottle for nutritional facts. I wouldn't drink more than 1/4 gallon a day. Try some water or milk.

Answer 8

It depends on what your definition of "a lot" and "fattening" are.
I agree with one of the previous submissions: you need to go to the nutrition label on the back of the bottle. You should also watch your serving sizes: that can get confusing sometimes!!
If drinking a lot of grape juice ups your daily caloric intake to over what you are burning, then yes, anything with any calories at all could be considered fattening.
If you are thinking in terms of weight loss/maintenance, if you burn more calories than you are taking in, you will lose weight. If you are taking in more calories than you are burning, you will gain weight.

Answer 9

Yes it is fattening.
If you like grape
flavor, get a grape
flavored powder that
is pre-sweetened with
Splenda or something
that is no calorie.

I use the cheap brand of
Crystal Lite. 'Great Value.'
It has all different flavors,
including grape. No calories.
Makes 12 quarts - $1.80 -
LOTS cheaper than grape juice!

Answer 10

its not entirely fatning, how ever it can lead to weight gain. the amount of sugar in that stuff is amazing, if it was me i would cut down to maybe a cup a day or so and drink water the rest of the time, or diet ice tea

Answer 11

yes grape juice has a high percentage of natural sugars,so it is high in energy so I suppose the short answer is yes.
