"His peacotum, a blend of peach, apricot and plum tastes like fruit punch. "It can go kiwi," says one Zaiger salesman, suggesting it could possibly hit the big time. Zaiger is also the reason we're able to buy white-fleshed peaches and nectarines. Until Zaiger figured out how to make them transport-ready delicious white stone fruits were too soft to withstand any sort of shipping. Today, close to a third of peaches and nectarines sold are white-fleshed. When harvested at the right time, Zaiger-developed white-fleshed stone fruit are superlative." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Data collected from the study of 51,603 nurses in the United States found that women who drank one serving of non-diet soda or fruit punch daily, which was sweetened with either sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, gained more weight, an average of 10.3 pounds, than women who drank less than one per month. The study was conducted over four years. In addition, the sugar consumers had an 82 percent increased risk of developing Type-2 diabetes. "The message is: Anyone who cares about their health or the health of their family would not consume these beverages," said Walter C." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Thus, the guideline urges Americans to avoid foods that are high in added sugars (and a table lists examples of these foods: soft drinks, sugars and candy, cakes, cookies, pies, fruit-flavored drinks and fruit punch, and dairy desserts). High intakes of sugars are also associated with an increased incidence of dental caries, providing yet another reason to moderate sugar intake [41]. Dietary fiber intakes would increase if consumption of whole grains increased, so the guideline emphasizes the importance of consuming at least three servings of whole grains daily. 7." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"The Snapple fruit punch made for the New York City schools, for example, indeed was juice at one time, but no more. Its label says it is made from six kinds of fruit concentrates, plus flavor additives, vitamins, and calcium —and no added sugars. You do not need to add sugars to fruit concentrates. To make "juiced" products, food chemists process fruit juice until it is basically fruit-flavored sugar, and then reconstitute it. "Fruit concentrate," according to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, is a euphemism for sugars. This Snapple drink has 170 calorics in 11." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Feingold, it is important to avoid artificial (synthetic) coloring, as "Those colors that make the 'fruit punch' red, the gelatin green and the oatmeal blue are made from petroleum (crude oil) which is also the source for gasoline", and artificial (synthetic) flavoring. Especially ingredient labels listed with a number that begins with "D&C", as it means that "this coloring is considered safe for medicine (drugs) and cosmetics, but not for food" (http://www.feingold.org/grocery.html)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"In addition, the nurses who drank more than one fruit punch a day (rather than soda) nearly doubled their risk of diabetes as opposed to those who had punch less than once a month. Not only that, but the study participants who stepped up their intake of soft drinks and drank one or more per day over the eight years of the study gained, on average, more than 17 pounds. But their counterparts—those who cut back on soda to one soft drink or less per week—gained only six pounds on average." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"Neither diet soda nor fruit juice indicated a problem in the study, but sugared fruit punch showed results similar to the sugared soda. Q People with type 2 diabetes are less able than most people to perceive sweet tastes, and this may make it more difficult for them to lose weight. Because they do not recognize the sweet taste of substances, they often consume sugary products that they do not appreciate as sweet." - Phyllis A.

"Passionflower gives canned "fruit punch"-flavored juice its characteristic taste. On a somewhat humorous note, passionflower frequently is added to "herbal male enhancement" products. The joke is that this herb has no benefit for stimulating libido or improving erectile function. Obviously, it was chosen because of its suggestive name, meaning the formulators either put it in thinking the consumer won't know what it really does or they themselves didn't really know. Either situation is a sad commentary on the state of much of today's herb industry." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.)
