Also, fruit juice is not good for kids' teeth. (Neither is milk---never let your little ones go to sleep drinking a bottle. The milk stays on their teeth and can cause cavities.)I think the point they were making here is that the apple juice had the same nutrients as the whole apple in terms of cognitive and memory functions. As the mother of four, I agree with your doctor's recommendation to encourage your kids to eat the whole fruit.

I remember my children's doctor scolding me about the sugars and calories in apple juice. She recommended that I restrict their intake of fruit juices and encourage them to eat the whole fruit instead. But it's good to know that apple juice can be helpful in preventing oxidative stress in our brains as we age! Thanks! - drdeb629 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:35:28 +0100
