If you think that drinking fruit juice is just as healthy as eating fruit, you may want to reconsider that opinion. This article cites many studies that point to juices being just as bad for our bodies as soda.
Some of the many reasons to steer clear of juice:
It isn't always what is seems to be (added sugars and flavors).
