Imagine you are a pediatrician. You have a consult with a young family with their young children. This visit the children’s blood sugar came back higher than usual. You set up a dietary history questionnaire and go over all their food intake. Based in their answers you notice that they have been drinking the new fad juice drink, three times a day every day. The ad says is 100% real fruit juice and it replaces one fruit.  Using this article as evidence, how would you explain the side effects of that juice their children are consuming and what could they replace with? ( Use 3rd person to discuss your recommendations.)
