Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.

The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.

100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.

      Yep this was my take. Went to Cartagena de Indias in Colombia where people kinda don’t drink water, it’s all juice. Guess what a week+ of juice 3x a day gets you? REALLY BAD CONSTIPATION.
