- Health benefits and health risks of juice
- The effect of juice on satiety & weight, dental health, brain health, gut health
- The optimal amount and type of juice

- Why might 100% juice have health benefits?
- How concerned should we be about sugars?
- What to look for on the label

One-liners you don’t want to miss:
“Under extreme conditions juice can lead to worsening to some markers of dental health but we don’t actually have evidence to say that’s the case in normal circumstances.”
“100% juice can also improve markers of cardiovascular health and help to lower markers of chronic inflammation.”
“We now have 19 randomised controlled trials comparing 100% juice to non-calorie beverages, so that could be water, an artificially sweetened beverage. There is not one study that shows any change in body weight with 100% juice. ”
