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.

    Sure, if you’re otherwise healthy, but the point is don’t drink a glass of sugar water thinking it’s healthy because fruits or vitamins or some bullshit, because it’s not, and you probably don’t need the extra calories.

    Unless you do, and then you probably already know your shit anyways.
