Although, I am not sure about the restriction of one fruit serving per day. I think fiber from fruit should help regulate the blood sugar levels. So how about pure orange juice with pulp? Unless, you don't have the taste for it. I am sure Tropicana must have solved the taste problem with Trop50. Only time will tell if this product succeeds in the marketplace. Thanks for sharing!

I was on the GD diet in pregnancy which meant no white carbs/sugar (although I did use Stevia) and only one serving of fruit. Half a glass of regular OJ is one serving of fruit. So Trop50 may have been a better option for me in pregnancy. I'm curious about the taste, though. I don’t know about the Trop50.

Her other choices are milk and water and she quite often asks for water on her own with her meals. And while I personally drink soda because I have a serious caffeine problem, my kids aren't allowed to have it. They call it "junk soda" and they know I'm trying to quit. You might be interested in Clean Eating magazine's breakdown of juices in the May/June issue that points out that Fruitopia juice, which is marketed towards kids, is filled with filtered water, sugar and cochineal extract.

My toddler is 22 months old. Her beverage choices are simple: water or breastmilk. As a family, we do not drink juice, sodas, etc. except on special occasions. She may occasionally receive juice at Mom's Morning Out, although I have asked them to give her water only. While I cannot control what others offer her, I can set guidelines by which our family abides at home. Re: water vs. juice. My toddler is 22 months old.

Thanks for introducing Nutrition Unplugged. I share your frustration with food labeling systems. I think they're not useful at all, rely on "nutritionism" instead of common sense, and provide industry with a recipe to make foods look good by the rating system, yet be no better than the foods they replaced. I like the guidelines for defining healthful foods presented here: http://www.preventioninstitute.org/sa/settingtherecordstraight.html here’s an excerpt: “Healthful Food is wholesome. • It includes minimally processed fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, eggs, dairy, meats, fish, and poultry. • It contains naturally occurring nutrients (e.g., vitamins, minerals, phyto-nutrients). • It is produced without added hormones or antibiotics • It is processed without artificial colors or flavors or unnecessary preservatives.” Great post!
