Wasn't there just a study, that many fat kids are fat because of fruit juices?

Healthy in a way, but surprisingly a lot of sugar ( either added or from the fruits)

Fruit juices are not healthy in any way, precisely because of the sugar density and lack of fiber which leads to easy overconsumption.

>Pediatricians should support policies that seek to reduce the consumption of fruit juice and promote the consumption of whole fruit by toddlers and young children already exposed to juices.

Fruit juice isn’t considered healthy. It has worse health outcomes than soda
There was a study comparing big and small eaters with and without obesitas. Turns out that skinny people who eat a lot eat also eat a lot of fat and protein and that fat people who eat almost nothing eat mostly carbs and sugar.
Link to the study would help that claim, when you have a chance.
