So all juices and smoothies? many of them have more sugar than Coke.... Even juices without any added sugar will have a ton of sugar in them if they come from sugar rich fruits.

That's because a glass of juice isn't the equivalent of eating an orange, it's the equivalent of eating an orchard.

An exaggeration, obviously, but it is really bad. The number of fruits you have to eat to equal a glass of juice is significant.

Apple juice is about 100% sugar which is why you'll see it in so many "100% juice" products.

Apple juice is about 10% sugar, I don't know why you're mentioning an improbable number.

And here's the thing: Sugar is not a bad thing per se. It's overconsumption of it that's the issue. I'd rather have someone drink fruit juice than soda, but all in moderation.

I think sugar is 100% sugar, hence "apple juice" can't be "100% sugar" since it has to have some water in it

I thought that apple juice was a bit dry and grainy.
