It may be what you consider the "acceptable definition" of fruit juice, but it is not the definition in common use.

Also, you are not evolutionarily adapted to eat compounds. You are evolutionarily adapted to eat foods. And fruit juice is not a food you are evolutionarily adapted to eat. It is very different, biologically, from eating an actual fruit.

For those who might be wondering, one such difference is the presence of fiber in fruit, but the lack of fiber in fruit juices.

As I've mentioned in a reply above, I accept the criticism. Grudgingly.

While it is not really comparable, I wonder if 50 years from now a study about the value of vegetables will use Pizza as an acceptable vegetable portion (because http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45306416/ns/health-diet_and_nutr... ) We laugh it this now, but 30 years from now, it might seem perfectly plausible to consider pizza a vegetable.
