Question 1

can you be allergic to fruit juice?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Allergic antibodies (ige) can be formed to any large complex molecule that is recognized as foreign to the body such as: animal and plant proteins or carbohydrates, bacteria, fungi, insect venoms or excrement (dust mites) or even synthetic molecules such as drugs. The presence of ige does not, by it self,  confirm true allergy; clinical symptoms occurring after exposure must also be noted.

Question 4

is fruit/fruit juice ok for me if i'm hypoglycemic?

Accepted Answer

Only during symptoms: "hypogycemias" are real in diabetic patients that take too much medication or don't eat after taking medications. Unless there is  tumor producing low glucose (insulinoma) most people keep normal levels of glucose even while starving.

Question 5

is consuming tropicana fruit juice good for health ?

Accepted Answer

It is ok: Fruit juices are popular among the public but they have considerable amount of added sugar in them. So they can add lot of daily calories to your intake and thus add to your weight. So if you are overweight, then it is not a good idea to drink fruit juice. Eat fruits instead...they are much more healthier and do not alter your blood sugar as much as fruit juice would do

Question 6

how much fruit juice should i give my healthy 8 month old?

Accepted Answer

No need, but you can: After 6 mths old ; once eating solids, you can give 1:10 diluted juice, at mealtimes only, although babies certainly don't need it. Water is always the best choice as an additional drink to your baby's usual milk. However, if you are bringing up your baby as a vegetarian, giving her fruit juice with meals will help her body absorb the iron from her food. Best!

Question 9

can you please describe the negative effects of drinking too much fruit juice?

Accepted Answer

Too much sugar: Our bodies need a balance of sugar and fiber, with much more fiber than sugar.  Since most of what is removed from fruit to make juice is the fiber, it is the opposite balance of what we need.  Most whole fruit has much more fiber than sugar.  Search youtube for the video, "sugar, the bitter truth, " by robert lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist.  It is about 1.5 hrs long but breaks it down well.
