Question

I came upon this study link, and was very surpised. In this study at the link below:

Sugars in white grape juice accelerated atherosclerosis. Pomegranate juice slowed it down or reversed it some. Does this mean juices with white grape juice a poor choice as a drink, especially for heart patients ?

Answer 1

I haven't read the study, but sugar is sugar is sugar...

If sugar from one beverage was bad, that means sugar from all beverages is bad. The "magic" comes from the other constituents in the bevvy... Some things are good some aren't.

Besides, I heard of a study that says drinking as little as a single can of (carbonated) soda a day causes your likelihood of oral cancer to spike drasticly...I haven't heard of Coke or Pepsi declaring bankruptcy, have you?

Before you take the statements of a study at face value, check into who sponsored the study, and find-out what their agenda is. If it works out that the study is an "honest" one, then act on it as you see fit.

Answer 2

I would think of it more like a beverage choice for poor adults.

Answer 3

i have a Pomegranate juice and sugar body scrub i bought from Publix! =D

i think it would be fine to drink as long as you dont drink more than say a glass or two a day. just like any sweet drink or caffinated drink, its safe in moderation.

i personally LOVE white grape drinks! its cheap, and i dont really get it often... besides, its not like alchohaul is any better lol! =D

Answer 4
