'Juice' and the Canada Food Guide

Throughout our healthy eating unit, students familiarized themselves with the 4 food groups and the recommended serving sizes for each respectively.

There was a great debate as to whether or not juice should be removed from the Canada Food Guide as it includes many additional sugars and sweeteners for added taste. It also loses its nutritional content and has a limited amount of nutrients when compared to having an actual fruit.

Here is an article to support this :)
