More than 85% of the population is not meeting recommended amounts. General fruit consumption patterns show whole fruit provides about 65% (2/3'rds) of total fruit while 100% juice provides about 35% (1/3). These findings show 100% juice does not displace fruit in the diet and is not typically overconsumed - even among children (the largest consumers of juice). Consumption patterns for whole fruit versus 100% fruit juice showed different gradients by race/ethnicity, education, and income. Total fruit and whole fruit consumption was generally higher among those with higher incomes or more education. The advice to replace 100% juice with whole fruit may pose a challenge for the economically disadvantaged and some minority groups, whose fruit consumption falls short of national goals..For those segments of the population who are unable to afford whole fresh fruit, 100% fruit juice offers a convenient, affordable, and nutrient-den Juice Products Association /articles/100-percent-juice-fills-the-bill-for-healthy-school-lunches/?sc=rsin /articles/100-percent-juice-fills-the-bill-for-healthy-school-lunches/?sc=rsin Mon, 06 Oct 2008 06:00:00 EST For decades, children of all ages have consumed fruit juice as part of their school foodservice meals or in the lunches they have toted from home.Recently, however, some parents have become confused about 100 percent juice""how much to drink, how much to serve their children""partly because of the natural sweet taste of fruit juice. The majority of research on juice shows that it definitely contributes important nutrients to the diet and is clearly NOT the reason for childhood obesity.

The scientific community would agree that one single study (such as that recently published by Bazzano et al.) does not provide support for any general conclusions about 100 percent fruit juice.
