A new study was recently published on-line in Beverages by Dr. Lynn L.
Moore, a Professor of Medicine, at the Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of
Medicine. Moore and her colleagues found that pre-teen girls who drank 100% fruit juice had
long term positive dietary benefits with no adverse effect on weight, throughout adolescence,
regardless of race.
The study evaluated the association between preadolescent 100% fruit juice intake and later adolescent diet quality and body mass index (BMI). The results showed that early adolescent fruit juice intake was positively associated with subsequent whole fruit consumption, better diet quality, and lower BMI in later adolescence.
