For comparison, a medium apple with the peel has 4.5 grams of fiber — or 18% of the RDI — for this nutrient ( 1, 7). Drinking fruit juice is linked to tooth decay. Bacteria in your mouth consume the sugars in juice and produce acids that can erode tooth enamel and lead to cavities ( 27). In one study, healthy men drank a 2/3 cup (160 ml) of apple juice, then scientists drew their blood. Oxidative damage in their blood was suppressed within 30 minutes of drinking the juice, and this effect continued for up to 90 minutes ( 9). Twenty years ago, Martinelli’s expanded within familiar territory with new sparkling cider flavors such as cranberry and grape. Five years ago, it added pomegranate to the portfolio and four years ago launched a much-extended line with pear, peach, raspberry, wildberry and mango, with mango taking the lead in popularity among these new flavors. As these ciders continue to sweep the category along with their classic forefather, Martinelli’s then decided to fall a little farther from the tree.If you eat a variety of whole fruits and vegetables, you can easily meet your quota for vitamin C without drinking fortified juice. 3. High in sugar — low in fiber

For more polyphenols, opt for cloudy juice — which contains pulp — rather than clear, which has the pulp removed ( 7). Is there nothing to be said for tradition? Yes, technology has allowed us to do more in less time and at lower costs, but in some cases, it also asks us to forfeit some things – often, the quality of products. In the food industry, when one company increases production or cuts costs with a bells–and-whistles machine, its competitors may follow suit to stay within a target price range. But then there’s always one company that rejects changes that hurt quality, and when it comes to apple juice, S. Martinelli & Co. has proudly limited its technological advances for the past 143 years.Just like the apple products, Martinelli’s makes its classic lemonade and sparkling lemonade the old-fashioned way with lemon juice, water and sugar and sans high-fructose corn syrup and preservatives. The sparkling lemonade uses less carbonation than the sparkling cider since carbonation tends to heighten lemon’s sour profiles. That said, vitamin C — or ascorbic acid — is commonly added. In many cases, apple juice is fortified to provide 100% or more of the RDI for vitamin C per serving ( 25).

At the same time, a 1-cup (240-ml) serving of juice — whether clear or cloudy — supplies only 0.5 grams of fiber. If not fortified, apple juice provides around 2% of the RDI for this vitamin per serving. For comparison, one medium apple averages 9% of the RDI ( 1). Last year, it introduced lemonade and sparkling lemonade to capture the summer crowds. “Our strategy was to develop a product line that could give us volume during our traditional slow time,” Martinelli explains. “With our sparkling cider products, the surge is really during the holiday season. We were looking for some balance throughout the year and for a summer beverage. Lemonade was the obvious choice.”

One study observed that when healthy adults drank 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) of clear apple juice daily for 6 weeks, their LDL (bad) cholesterol was 20% more resistant to oxidation compared to the start of the study ( 11). If you drink nonorganic juice, pesticide contamination is another concern. Pesticides are chemicals used to protect crops from insects, weeds, and mold. In a study of mildly dehydrated children with diarrhea and vomiting, those offered diluted apple juice were 6.5% less likely to need fluids delivered via their veins than those given a medicinal electrolyte drink ( 4). In one study, adults were given a whole apple, applesauce, or apple juice in equal amounts based on calories. Whole apples satisfied their hunger best. Juice was the least filling — even when fiber was added to it ( 20).
