FACT: Fruit juice has as many calories and as much sugar as Coke.
QUESTION: Is it actually any better for you by virtue of being fruit-based?

Well, you're not supposed to drink it like it's water but fruit has more than just fructose to offer healthwise and I believe that so does fruitjuice.

Well, not all sugar is processed the same by the body. And presumably the juice has vitamins.

Well, my new basement is finished and I'm hoping to watch TV down there, and I don't want to share the space with the crickets. They're freaky!

According to this bottle of ruby grapefruit Juice Squeeze, it's not a significant source of Vitamin A or Vitamin C.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
P-C, probably marginally better in that (a) it does contain trace amounts of vitamins and whatnot, which is more than Coke does, and (b) it has no HFCS, which is a suspected factor in increasing obesity and diabetes rates in the US.
But if you're looking for seriously healthier, you're probably better off having a piece of actual fruit and a bottle of fizzy water.

From the name it doesn't sound like a significant source of juice either.

How is that possible? It seems like anything that's ever been waved vaguely in the direction of some fruit gets to claim, like, 2100% RDA of Vitamin C.

FACT: Fruit juice has as many calories and as much sugar as Coke.
Not the same kind of sugar, though. And far fewer chemicals.

Also: I get paid twice a month now! I'm off to the neighboring town to deposit my check. Hooray, paycheck day! Also, hooray-in-advance for direct deposit, which will mean not having to do this anymore.
