Some Juice isn't Juice Any More . . .

That isn't to say it's all gone, but much of the trusted labeling has changed. Some well known names are not sporting the "100% Juice" on it's packaging. So, they are being honest in their advertising, but they are no longer delivering a good and healthy product. For long over 50 years we have depended upon frozen concentrate to be juice, not fizz free soda or expensive, embellished kool-aid. Much of the frozen concentrate is concentrated "fruit cocktail" or "fruit drink" it's . . . fruit flavored and colored corn syrup, just add water. We all know where corn syrup comes from!

I want to share an apparently little known fact. Even in it's unaltered state, corn is not a vegetable. Corn is a grain that was at one time a staple for the indigenous population of the Americas. Even if corn was a good source of vitamins, corn isn't corn anymore.



As for frozen concentrate with pictures of fruit on the label, some of them are still juice, but many of them are not juice anymore.
