Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.
The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.
100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.
I see so many things blamed for weight gain, but nobody ever seems to talk about the fact that nearly everyone is staying inside more. Kids don’t go outside to play like they used to. They play video games and watch YouTube instead of riding bikes and climbing trees. Adults too. The human race is becoming increasingly sedentary. The calories catch up way quicker if you aren’t doing anything to burn them. And I’m not pointing fingers here. I do it too.
Have you seen the outside they built?
Kids aren’t allowed to play outside anymore anywhere but the country.
The trees have been cut down and replaced with tiny puffs of artificial grass. There are no yards, it’s all just streets to play in. And the streets are now blasted through at 30mph.
Adults call the cops on children outside just anywhere but their own front lawn. There is nowhere where it is free to be, and kids aren’t exactly flush with cash.
I live in a housing development without a tree in sight. There were kids out running around all over the place all summer long. Never saw anyone complaining about it either.
I left the city years ago. My kid has all the outdoors he could want and I about have to twist his arm to get him off red dead.
Same. But as someone who lived in the city. I spoke to the cops more than my drug addicted cousin.
‘You can’t skateboard here’. 'You’re loitering, do you want me to arrest you? ’ 'You can’t ride your bike here… ’
Motherfucker where can I do any of this without you bothering me? There aren’t any parks? So where exactly do you want us to go?
It’s because of perfection of the ability to stay at home while keeping yourself entertained. The other side that nobody remembers was that their was almost nothing to do at home so you would go out because their was things to do. Now theirs so many things to do you can literally stay inside for the rest of your life and never be bored.
