Danger: Smoothies and juices contain deceptively high amounts of sugar
Smoothies and fruit juices have been branded the 'new danger' in the battle against obesity.
The two scientists who blew the lid on the corn syrup in soft drinks scandal described claims that smoothies are good for us as 'deceiving', arguing they contain the same amount of sugar as a large coke.
And Barry Popkin and George Bray say that while smoothies are lauded for containing the equivalent of six oranges, they actually provide none of the health benefits received by simply eating an orange instead.
