Pasteurized Fruit Juice
The issue with fruit juice is that it contains way more fruit than you’d usually consume in one sitting. And all that fruit has sugar, which could add up to the amount of a meal’s worth of calories.

Why are antioxidants so important? Well, they fight free radicals in our bodies. High amounts of free radicals are the reason why we get cancer, so nutrients and antioxidants are extremely important to our health.
