Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.

The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.

100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.

    My wife and I occasionally make fresh squeezed orange juice at home… It takes us at least a dozen large oranges to get THREE - 10 to 12 ounce glasses of juice.

    It probably takes more oranges than that really but it’s been a while since we did it so I can’t remember for sure.
