Drinking one glass or more of 100% fruit juice each day is associated with weight gain in children and adults, according to a new analysis of 42 previous studies.
The research, published Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, found a positive association between drinking 100% fruit juice and BMI — a calculation that takes into account weight and height — among kids. It also found an association between daily consumption of 100% fruit juice with weight gain among adults.
100% fruit juice was defined as fruit juices with no added sugar.
We’re the only mammals capable of keeping milk-producing animals and collecting that milk. It’s a lot of work. No other animal plants wheat or maintains berry patches eithet. Kind of a crap argument. We aren’t “meant” to do anything in particular, but we’re adapted to surviving on a huge range of food.
The dairy industry is a ridiculous monster but keep the criticism empirical.
What prevents cows from drinking the milk of other cows that are still producing? Heck, what keeps them from drinking the milk of their mother long term? If they continue to drink it the mother will continue producing it, if they have one calf a year they’ll be producing pretty much non stop. We milk them longer than they would before their calves would have stopped drinking their milk, why then do they stop at a certain age?
65% of the human population has lactose intolerance. How does that fit with us being meant to continue drinking milk just because we’re able to?
We started drinking milk about 9000 years ago, that’s about 3% of our history as homo sapiens, these days we don’t need it, we’ve got good water and get our nutrients elsewhere.
I don’t know, why does a human baby stop breastfeeding?
You mean 35% of the population is able-bodied. Ha.
I don’t know what this statistic is supposed to mean. Something like 60% of people have herpes. Does this mean we’re meant to get herpes?
I believe the coccyx is proof we were meant to have tails. 😤 Look what nature has stolen from us.
The mother, usually. But then eventually it comes down to a matter of logistics.
