Juice may taste good, but unlike the fruit, it’s not healthy

It is technically for added sugars. However, this individual is consuming an unusually high amount of fruit, IMO, and sugar is sugar, no matter its source. One can't reasonably claim, for example, that drinking a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice isn't a source of sugar even if no additional sugar was explicitly mixed in.

As I said, the blood tests will show whether or not there's actually a problem with his/her sugar intake.

Thanks for the input! Hopefully this high intake is balanced by the fact that I'm training for a triathlon and marathon, but I'm due for a blood test anyways so I will have a medical facility check me out. :)

Perhaps add some variety - like berries - to cut the sugar a bit and more diversity of nutrients :)
