Please note that beverages state that they do not contain added sugars. Does not in any way mean that they do not contain fruits. This applies to smoothies and fruit juices.

Fruit is often highlighted in product marketing, so you feel like you are consuming fruit juice. Let’s be realistic, there is sugar behind these beautiful bottles, these beautiful images, etc.

Young people abuse these sugary drinks. Many of them do not like drinking water and are not aware of the huge calorie intake of sugary drinks, especially when beautiful fruits such as fruit juices and smoothies stand out on the packaging.
