Drinking a glass or more of 100% fruit juice daily is associated with a small weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis.

Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.

The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.

100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.

    People are just lazy. I love vegetating at home, but do make time now for travel and got to the gym early. When I was a kid, I would bike around my neighborhood. I can see that being more problematic now, but that is moreso because of all the criminals from the poor towns ruining our nice things. I know there are solutions for that, but I haven’t seen any, which is unfortunate. I blame poor people for having many children and then expecting the welfare state to pay for and raise them.

            Is it possible though that they can just try harder. Sure, I was raised upper middle class, but I’ve been able to make it just fine. The best lessons that got me ahead were the ones where I had to suck it up and do real grinding work. That’s when I learned the most and got motivated to push my way up. You would assume that they would be forced into the grind, but I guess not. In all honesty, college was a joke and I could have just lied about it and gotten to where I am today. I think that having parents that gave a shit mattered the most. They didn’t even need to do much other than give me some basic morals. The work ethic even came later. In summary, capitalism is not responsible for poor peoe having a gazillion children and then not teaching them to be good people. It’s kind of just on them. If anything, the system should limit their ability to procreate by not providing unlimited aide. They should get punished for having children they can’t afford because that’s neglect.
