So you do a Google search something along these lines...
"Is pure juice high in sugar".
You will get this....
"Amount of sugar in juice All fruit juice — whether it's apple, orange, grape or a fancy blend such as peach-mango-blueberry — is high in sugar. An eight-ounce serving of juice and cola both contain about 30 grams of sugar on average — that's almost eight teaspoons."
But is this a bad thing. And does this paint a correct picture.
I've heard people say sugar is sugar and too much is bad for you.
This statement is simply not true.
From my own experience I found this out. I can drink a some juice-drimk that is only 10 percent pure juice and I noticed I will have a scratchy cough due to the sugar content of that juice-drink.

So all sugar is not created equally. For instance most everyone knows honey is good for you, yet it's mostly sugar.
Note:
For example, there’s a pretty big difference between the simple sugars found in fruits and the refined table sugar used in items like desserts, baked goods, and sugar-sweetened beverages. Foods that contain a lot of refined table sugar are usually highly processed, low in other nutrients, and extremely calorie dense. Whereas fruit is low in calories, packed with tons of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it contains lots of fiber which helps aid digestion and regulate blood glucose levels.
When it comes to weight loss specifically, the biggest hold up with sugar is that it’s typically high in calories. So let’s compare…
