Top 5 sinful food - Part 2.

2. Fruit Juices and Fake Fruit Drinks

It's not hard to guess why these are bad choices. Fake fruits drinks are loaded with sugar. The same is true to fruits juice. Think of an orange. It comes wrapped in a neat serving size easily accommodated by the body. Plus it comes with lots of fiber. now think of a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Believe it if not, the amount of sugar in a 12 ounce glass of fresh orange juice total 36 grams of carbohydrate, most of it from fructose which is a simple sugar. This amount of carbs will push your insulin levels through the roof. There's by far too much sugar at one gulp for the body to handle. Fake fruits drinks are even worse, since they are loaded with refined sugar or chemical sweeteners and food coloring

Alternatives: Drink fresh water to quench your thirst or munch on a real food!
