Some people seem to think the fruit juice is good, because it is made with fruits and fruits are supposed to be good. Other people say that fruit juice is bad because it has so much sugar. What do you think?

They are good because they have a lot of vitamins. They are good because they can be a convenient source of vitamins. They are bad because they are high in calories and have most of the fiber removed.

Also, if you buy juice, you have to be careful that a lot of sugar hasn't been added. And a lot of fruit drinks that seem to be juices are just flavored sugar water.

All you have to do is try making your own juice to see the problem. Get a juicer and make a glass of orange juice. Count the number of oranges you need to get even a small glass. You'll discover that you have used up all the calories you were allowed from fruit in that one glass of juice.

Many "juices" aren't even made with fruits. They are just waters with sugar added. If you are going to drink juice, make sure you get 100% fruit juice.

I think it's better to eat fruits rather than drink them. When I'm on xenical, I'll want all the fiber I can get!

I would also suggest just eating real fruits. The skins are especially good for you, such as the skin on an apple or a grape. You can drink water with it, if you want.

If you are going to eat the skin, you really should scrub it pretty well, as they get a lot of chemicals on them. Apples are waxed, too.
