An updated, methodologically rigorous synthesis of the data on the effects of 100% fruit juice on children’s weight is needed. 13 Crowe-White and colleagues 10 acknowledged receiving funding from the Juice Products Association and PepsiCo, which raises concerns about influence on the part of these funders. The meta-analysis by Crowe-White and colleagues 10 had an intermediate AMSTAR score (7/11) and was limited in that only PubMed was searched, 2 large studies from 2015 were not included, 1, 12 and 15 of the 16 included studies were cross-sectional, which are liable to confounding and reverse causation. The systematic review by O’Neil and Nicklas 11 had a low score (3/11) on the Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) quality rating scale. 2, 8 One systematic review 9 and 1 meta-analysis 10 concluded that 100% fruit juice consumption was not associated with excess weight in children, but both had limitations. Whether 100% fruit juice may cause weight gain and obesity in children is an open question, with individual studies yielding mixed findings. Only 2% of children 7 to 18 years old exceed AAP/DGA recommendations (consuming >12 oz per day). Almost one-third of children 2 to 6 years old consume >6 oz per day of 100% fruit juice. Among children who drink any 100% fruit juice, mean consumption is 10.6 oz per day among children 2 to 18 years of age and 9.9 oz per day among children 2 to 8 years of age. 7 Almost half of young children 2 to 8 years old are consumers. 6 Almost two-thirds of children drink 100% fruit juice by age 1 year. Younger children drink more 100% fruit juice than any other age group and often consume more than is recommended by the AAP and DGA. –2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) have endorsed these guidelines by the AAP. The AAP recommends that children 1 to 6 years old limit fruit juice intake to 4 to 6 oz per day and that children ≥7 years limit intake to 8 to 12 oz per day. 3, 4 Since 2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended that no more than half of children’s daily fruit servings come from 100% fruit juice.

1, 2 The sugars in 100% fruit juice are broken down and absorbed as glucose and fructose and are nutritionally equivalent to the free sugars in sugar-sweetened beverages. It is difficult to let go of something you have worked on for 12 years, but we believe this is the best decision for us at this time.Experts have expressed concerns that the high content of naturally occurring sugars in 100% fruit juice may cause negative health effects similar to those of sugar-sweetened beverages. However, due to a change in circumstances, we are no longer able to sustain further development.

It was a good run, and we would like to thank everyone who has supported this effort over the years.
#Fruitjuice mac#
FruitJuice arrived in the Mac App Store in September of 2013. It was time for us to re-tool FruitJuice, which we started in late 2012. Shortly after we launched FruitJuice, it was clear that Apple notebooks would all soon have built-in batteries. You may remember those days, when Apple notebooks had swappable batteries! FruitJuice began as a solution to maximize battery life by automating (as much as possible) Apple's official battery calibration procedure. FruitJuice is a standalone app, and, as such, will continue to work provided Apple doesn't make significant changes to macOS.įruitJuice started life in 2010, outside of the Mac App Store.Email-based support will be provided through the end of 2022.(As with any app you have purchased from the Mac App Store, it will continue to be available for download). FruitJuice is no longer available for purchase as of April 17th, 2022.
