Why is there so much sugar in Juice Plus+® Gummies?
The amount of sugar in a day’s worth of gummies is about the same or less than a glass of orange juice or milk. The reason it is the first ingredient is because the molecular weight of sugar is so high compared to the nutrients. It is not a calorie dense food and so the “first ingredient being sugar” is not a good litmus test for judging the product. What is in the gummies is the disease-fighting micronutrition of 17 fruits and veggies, and they have been tested for bioavailability as well.
