Drinking 100% fruit juice has a negligible impact on daily calories but accounts for up to a quarter of children’s vitamin C intake and is an important source of other vital nutrients, according to a study published in the journal Nutrition Research Reviews.
The study found that fruit juice was responsible for 4-20% of daily vitamin C intakes in infants, 6-26% in children, 8-20% in teenagers, 8-19% in adults and 6-19% in older adults.
