100% fruit juice associated with weight gain in children and adults, study finds (www.cbsnews.com)

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.

I see so many things blamed for weight gain, but nobody ever seems to talk about the fact that nearly everyone is staying inside more. Kids don't go outside to play like they used to. They play video games and watch YouTube instead of riding bikes and climbing trees. Adults too. The human race is becoming increasingly sedentary. The calories catch up way quicker if you aren't doing anything to burn them. And I'm not pointing fingers here. I do it too.

Have you seen the outside they built?

Kids aren't allowed to play outside anymore anywhere but the country.

The trees have been cut down and replaced with tiny puffs of artificial grass. There are no yards, it's all just streets to play in. And the streets are now blasted through at 30mph.

Adults call the cops on children outside just anywhere but their own front lawn. There is nowhere where it is free to be, and kids aren't exactly flush with cash.

I live in a housing development without a tree in sight. There were kids out running around all over the place all summer long. Never saw anyone complaining about it either.

I left the city years ago. My kid has all the outdoors he could want and I about have to twist his arm to get him off red dead.

Same. But as someone who lived in the city. I spoke to the cops more than my drug addicted cousin.

'You can't skateboard here'. 'You're loitering, do you want me to arrest you? ' 'You can't ride your bike here... '

Motherfucker where can I do any of this without you bothering me? There aren't any parks? So where exactly do you want us to go?

Easy to claim everyone is staying inside if you’re inside not seeing it or when it’s either extreme freezing or boiling..but I just saw a plethora of children sledding yesterday after a snowstorm. I just came back from a Christmas vacation with a large group of nieces/nephews skating, swimming, building snowmen, snowshoeing, sleigh rides and skiing. There was a new activity to do every day. Not one looked at their phone(not even adults) and the total of tv screen time was maybe a two hours out of their day waiting between eating meals together or physically playing together or if the weather did not permit a lot of outdoor activity. Upon which we had a lot of board games to play with each other. The kids do not do well with no activity and tend to get moody and hard to deal with so the parents do a lot to try to expend their extra energy. Having kids is a lot of work. Especially if some of the kids are on a particular spectrum in which we had two out of the group.

on one hand it’s probably the household/family type and I have no doubt there are quite a few families that definitely do need to give their head a shake but it’s not as ubiquitous and pervasive as you’re suggesting. Most parents I’ve seen biggest complaint is ‘I’m trying to tire them out.’ seems to be the catch phrase of the decade right now.
