Perrier creates District Perrier to show consumers its bolder side
According to a study from the University of Washington Center for Public Health published in Nutrition Journal, including 100 percent fruit juice in one’s diet can make a difference. In the Jan. 5 study, study titled “Socioeconomic gradient in consumption of whole fruit and 100% fruit juice among U.S. children and adults,” it was determined that 75 percent of the population failed to consume the recommended 1.5 cups of fruit a day. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dietary Guidelines suggest that the average person should consume 1.5 to 2 cups a day, depending upon age. Based on the collected data, the advice to replace 100 percent juice with whole fresh fruit could pose challenges for the economically disadvantaged and some minority groups. For people on limited food budgets, 100 percent fruit juice can offer a more affordable and nutrient-dense option that can help them meet recommended dietary goals, the study suggests.
