Limit added sugars
Experts still have a long way to go to connect the dots between fructose and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Higher intakes of fructose are associated with these conditions, but clinical trials have yet to show that it causes them.

Still, it's worth cutting back on fructose. But don't do it by giving up fruit. Fruit is good for you and is a minor source of fructose for most people. The big sources are refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of sugar you get from sugar-sweetened drinks, pastries, desserts, breakfast cereals, and more, mainly to avoid gaining weight. The same strategy could also protect your liver and your arteries.

I agree that fruit is okay, but fruit juice has too much sugar in it for humans to handle.

%%
TRUE;
if one slurps 64oz of orange juice @ once LOL
But real juice 7 oz pac= with 100% vitamin C + about 100caleries=perfect
But have to watch out for the many that spike it with sugar, cane sugar , dextrose sucalose ;
i tend to avoid that cr*p.
Fruit is best, has fiber + no tellingwhat micronutrients in it.
DID you hear about the woman on the news that said ''my daughter thinks she is a cat, what do i do??''
DR said, take her to a vet LOL. She sued him /wow amazing blame shift by that parent

Without the fiber it's just sugar water with some vitamins thrown in.

I remember reading long ago that drinking up to 4oz of fruit juice was okay. Not sure what the current thinking is about this.

For sure. Just sugar water with a bit of vitamin C and some potassium maybe.

%%
100% juice, I read the back label,100% vitamin c, for 8 oz.
110 caleries-8 oz, orange juice as an example . 0% added sugars

I get plenty of fiber, 100% whole wheat, brown rice, fresh fruit ,pineapple,[ vitamins].......
Cant really tell much off the front label; they love to hide added refined or cane sugar + fat.
Fresh fruit + homegrown maybe best when available
