Not everyone understands how sugary apple juice is. Look at how often it shows up in “health” food.

The goal isn’t to fool everyone all the time, it’s to fool people who are only looking at the label or are skimming the ingredients list etc.

Fruit juice is not much better than soda when it comes sugar content. The only beverages allowed in our house are water, whole fat milk, and alcohol (because of course us parents get an exception).
Whole-fat milk is a meal, not a beverage, and it's a mystery how anyone can put up with the flavour. Especially mystifying: whole-fat milk with your meal.

What do you mean? Do you dislike its taste? I enjoy its taste, although I usually just drink water with my meals.

I have to limit how much my toddler gets, or he would literally suck down 1.5 liters of whole milk a day, and not bother with that time-wasting eating business that keeps him away from more important things, like his train set.
Only my kids love whole fat milk (it's kinda scary how much of it they drink, but then being vegetarian it does provide a decent amount of protein and fat). I just use it for coffee.
No coffee and tea?
