TEXT 1

Fruit Juice, in Moderation, Not Tied to Obesity in Children

…………………….experts believe that drinking fruit juice may lead to obesity in children, but a new review
has found that juice in moderation does not cause excess weight gain in children under 18.



Researchers pooled data……………… eight prospective observational studies of the association between
regular 100 percent fruit juice consumption and weight gain. The analysis, published in Pediatrics, includes
34,470 boys and girls under 18.



The studies used something called the B.M.I. z score, …………………….statistically adjusts body mass index
according to age. Changes in these scores of 0.25 to 0.50 are generally considered to put the child at risk for
obesity.

After controlling for total energy intake, birth weight, ethnicity and other factors, a 6- to 8-ounce daily serving
of 100 percent fruit juice was associated with a 0.087 unit average increase in B.M.I. z score in children 1 to 6
— equivalent to about 0.3 pounds. In those 7 to 18, there was no link ……………….. all between drinking fruit
juice and weight gain.

The lead author, Dr. Brandon J. Auerbach, an acting instructor in medicine at the University of Washington,
said that based ……………………. the current evidence, “consuming one daily serving of fruit juice is not
associated with weight gain in children. So fruit juice in moderation, not more than a serving a day, is safe.”
