With Sweet Drinks, Even One Is Too Many

This was printed in the November 2008 Diabetes Forecast magazine:

"One glass of orange juice a day may increase women's chance of developing type 2 diabetes by 24 percent, new research finds.

"Other fruit juices studied, including apple juice and grapefruit juice, had similarly negative associations. So did fruit punch, nondiet soda, and low-calorie soda. In contrast, women who consumed more whole fruits and green leafy vegetables demonstrates fewer incidences of diabetes. Researchers suggest that these findings should encourage people to replace juice with whole fruits in their diets."
