Are fruit juices sweetened drinks?
It is now forbidden to add sugars to fruit juices (although this does not apply to fruit nectars). Nevertheless, fruit naturally contains sugars, called fructose, which are found in juices. In the end, fruit juice contains as much sugar as soft drinks, so it's best to drink in moderation.
