    What is the association between intake of 100% fruit juice and weight status or adiposity (e.g., BMI percentile, weight gain, BMI Z-score and fat mass) in children?
    • Conclusion

      The evidence reviewed does not support an association between 100% fruit juice consumption and weight status or adiposity in children ages 2 to 18 years of age.
