One doesn't need to consult a pediatrician to look at the nutrition table. Even wealthy, intelligent people I know consume highly-processed garbage on a regular basis without thinking twice about what they put in their bodies.

This is specifically about juice that is 100% juice. Reading the ingredients label isn't going to help which is kinda the point of the study.

Edit: It looks like you changed your comment to reference nutritional table instead of ingredients list. See other comment on why that still is problematic.

I think they meant the nutrition table that’s usually above the ingredients.

The nutritional label doesn't provide clarity either. It doesn't differentiate between types of sugars, and although there is the newly required "Added Sugars" category, it doesn't include sugars from concentrated fruit juices, which can be misleading since these are technically added sugars too.

That is what I meant. Thanks. I updated my comment.

Wealthy and intelligent people make plenty of suboptimal choices.

Ironically the fittest people I know with the best diet (they eat like their grandmas used to) are quite rural and don't know anything about nutrition.

If they did they would probably fare worse. I obsessed over diet, spent countless hours studying thr subject and reviewing the latest in nutrition science. I wonder how much of that was funded by Nestle. I tried a processed vegetarian diet for a decade before having health issues and ending up eating only meat. After 1 year of that I was able to reintroduce small amounts of carbs / veggies without having adverse reactions, but at this point I don't even care about doing it.
