How does Oogavé compare with sparkling juice?
Juice-based sodas are definitely healthier for you than HFCS-based sodas. Juice is lower on the glycemic index and is often sweeter to the taste so you don’t need to add extra sugar. However, juice-based sodas are not nutritionally the same as having a glass of juice. While juice has many nutrients such as vitamins and fiber, much of that nutrition is lost because of the processing it undergoes. But don’t take our word for it. Look at the nutrition chart of your favorite sparkling juice. You are unlikely to find any vitamins unless they have been added. Next, take a look at the ingredient list. You are more than likely to find added flavors and added colors. Ask yourself this question: why would you have to add color and flavor to juice? The answer is because all the processing it undergoes robs the juice not only of nutrition, but color and flavor as well. We like a sparkling juice as a treat as much as anyone, but if you want nutrition, ask for yours fresh-squeezed.
