100% Apple Juice vs. "Cocktails", "Beverages" or "Drinks"

Read any good juice labels lately? Check 'em out - you'll likely be surprised to find out you aren't drinking what you thought you were.

Be sure to select 100% apple juice, for your better health - anything less just doesn't measure up. Only 4 ounces of 100% apple juice counts as one of your daily fruit servings, getting you on your way to eating the Dietary Guidelines recommended daily fruit servings. Juices that contain less than 100% apple juice will be labeled as "juice beverages", "juice cocktails" or "juice drinks." These juice imposters often have added sugars and flavors, too!

Look just above the Nutrition Facts on your juice's label for the required declaration of percentage of juice content - if it doesn't say "100% juice", pass on it!
