Could Drinking Lots Of Fruit Juice Effect Health?
Hi my daughter is 13 years old and doesn t drink anything but juice. She is sensitive to milk, hates the taste of water, and doesn t like pop, gatorade etc. It s not as if she only drinks a little bit of juice but she drinks a lot! Is this bad for her health? What should I do? Will this affect her?

Hi,
Drinking a lot of drinks, either fruits or carbonated drink is definitely injurious to health. We should not encourage drinking. It will deliver more empty calories. We should advise taking whole fruit rather than taking the fruit extract. Tell her to eat not drink the fruit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
