To drink juice or not to drink juice? Tim Cassettari has been researching juice for the past 3 years, so we are in excellent hands as we cover the latest research on juice and health.

We cover: 

• Why study juice?
• What do dietary guidelines say about juice?
• The latest research 
• Health benefits and health risks of juice 
• The effect of juice on satiety & weight, dental health, brain health, gut health
• The optimal amount and type of juice 
• What about pulp?
• The different types of juice processing and their effect on health
• Why might 100% juice have health benefits?
• How concerned should we be about sugars?
• What to look for on the label 
• Practical considerations of juice
• Bigger picture health & nutrition learnings that can be taken from juice

One-liners you don’t want to miss:

“Under extreme conditions juice can lead to worsening to some markers of dental health but we don’t actually have evidence to say that’s the case in normal circumstances.”

“100% juice can also improve markers of cardiovascular health and help to lower markers of chronic inflammation.”

“We now have 19 randomised controlled trials comparing 100% juice to non-calorie beverages, so that could be water, an artificially sweetened beverage. There is not one study that shows any change in body weight with 100% juice. ”
