Nutrition Paper (August 2023)
The health effects of 100% fruit and vegetable juices (FVJ) are a topic of debate. While FVJ contain significant amounts of free sugars, they also contain vitamins, minerals and polyphenols and carotenoids with proven biological activities.
In this article, written by Professor Pedro Mena and his team at the Human Nutrition Unit, Department of Food and Drug, University of Parma, Parma, Italy, provides a review of the contribution of each FVJ to a health outcome. A nice summary
of the research is available in Figure 2 on page 36.
The article has been published in Nutrition Research Reviews (2023) by Cambridge University Press on behalf of The Nutrition Society. Open Access has been sponsored by IFU, which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution and reproduction,
