Are packaged juices safe for kids? Expert explains
short by / on Friday, 20 February, 2026
Packaged juices often taste "healthy," but they're loaded with sugars and lack fibre and whole fruit benefits. Dietitian Garima explains, drinking them can push up a child's calorie and sugar intake, increasing the risk of weight gain, cavities and energy spikes. Choosing water and whole fruit most of the time is a smarter, healthier habit than daily juice boxes.
