Too much fructose can damage your liver, just like too much alcohol

No citation available, but I see far more people drinking fruit juice than I do eating fruit with the skin/fibre still intact.

Roughly 25 years ago when I was a kid, I remember drinking orange juice out of small 4" glasses with oranges on the side at diners and in homes. These glasses hold about 6 oz of juice, which is about 85 calories.

These glasses have been replaced by much larger ones. These days a 'small' juice is 12-16 oz, or 150-200 calories, which is just as bad as pop.

Portion sizes are growing with the collective waistline of America.

Fruit juice is no better than soda pop.

At least fruit juice has some nutritional value. You're right though that it still isn't a "healthy" choice.
