3. Bottled Juice
Whether it’s orange, apple, cranberry, or tart cherry, many bottled juices only include a very small percentage of real juice. Other unnatural ingredients used to boost color, texture, shelf life, and taste include high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), modified corn starch, preservatives, and coloring agents (like yellow #4 in the case of orange juice).
Additionally, during the heat-manufacturing process, many of the juice’s naturally occurring antioxidants and vitamins are also destroyed.
