Key Findings: Consumption of 100% fruit juice was associated with higher nutrient intake, better diet quality and greater consumption of whole fruit than non-fruit juice drinkers in a nationally representative sample of US children. In addition, drinking 100% juice was not associated with body weight and adiposity. Based on these results, 100% juice complements, rather than competes with, whole fruit consumption and does not replace milk in the diet.
