if it makes you feel any better, 100% cranberry juice would be awful. You don't drink that crap straight, for the same reason you don't drink lemon juice straight.

LOL, true... they get you with grape sometimes too!

What I see as a problem with the juices is not so much that they are diluted with water, but that, for example with cranberry juice, most of the fruit content isn't cranberry at all, but cheaper juices such as apple, pineapple and citrus fruit. Cranberry makes up such a small percentage of the juice, the manufacturers have to add plenty of red food dye to the concoction so that it at least looks red.

Another good observation, that is, too, also how they get you.

The same way you don't buy a car with-out knowin whats under the hood, the milage, etc. Good point to not jump the gun.
Though... Tea itself is hot water, a tea-bag and sugar

Don't forget about the aspartame and other such chemical sweeteners in the various "light" or "Lite" or "diet" or "Low calorie" versions of these drinks. That stuff is deadly - I had crazy stomach problems for years and when I quit drinking diet pepsi 2-4x per day, the problems went away. If I drink juice or pop or even coffee with aspartame or acesulfame potassium or whatever else in it now, the terrible debilitating gastric reflux heardburn of death returns for the next several hours. Avoid that crap at all costs.

Hey IMF,

It is what I always say, must read that label. My biggest beef with these mass producers is that that garbage they call "juice" or "food" for that matter is mostly High Fructose Corn Syrup which is truly DEADLY. It isn't even just sugar. I'll buy totally pure cranberry juice and put my own raw sugar in it, thankyou. Raw brown sugar is fine. High Fructose CS is pure evil on the body, and one of the main reasons that diabetes has become epidemic in this country. There are times when HFCS is unavoidable, but I avoid like the plague otherwise. Same for hydrogenated oils.

Just a not on your Diabetes comment, I heard an add on the radio where they declared Type 2 Diabetes a PANDEMIC!! Really?? Since when is a condition that can be totally controlled if not reversed just by proper diet by 95% of those who have it considered a Pandemic.

Generally if something is a "Pandemic" the Gov't has signed a contract with the Pharmaceutical Companies to buy $X Million dollars worth of the new "Vaccine" for it. If they don't call it a pandemic, people won't line up for their shots - remember Swine Flu?

I believe they are calling this vaccine "Put down the Fork"

LMAO. Great idea. I think the only way to avoid all this mess is to grow your own fruits and vegetables organically and never drink from plastic bottles and cups.

Reading back on these comments and I really have to laugh because the whole juice thing was supposed to be an analogy for hyped studio gear sales - but instead we all talked about nutrition... lol.

hahaha apparently your analogy was too smart for us
