Fruit Juice

FJ: Blood Lipid Levels in Adults (2014)

• Assessment
  What is the association between intake of 100% fruit juice and blood lipid levels (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) in adults?

  • Conclusion

    In adults, there is little evidence that 100% fruit juice consumption is associated with blood lipid levels (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides).
     

  • Grade: III
    • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
    • Grade II is Fair;
    • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
    • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
    • Grade V is Not Assignable.
    • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
    • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
    • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
    • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
    • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
