When I say juice, powdered drinks don’t count. They’re not juices — they’re sugar-laden chemical mixes. “Juice” means the liquid derived from fruits, whether freshly squeezed or bottled.

Having low tolerance for acidic drinks, I have learned to stay away from cirtus fruit juices. Very rarely could I drink pure orange juice and not get stomach pains. So, I learned to like non-citric fruit juices. Apple juice, previously considered by my family as a cure for infant diarrhea, became a favorite.
