Question

Visit your local grocery store and find two fruit juices, two fruit drinks, and two sports drinks available in single-serving, easy-to-carry containers. Use the nutrition label to construct a table indicating the kcalories, total carbohydrate (g), sugar (g), vitamins, and minerals per 8-oz serving. Check the list of ingredients and indicate which products have added sugar. Do any of these items contain added ingredients to qualify as functional foods? Which are most appropriate for daily use? Which should be limited? Why?

The above two brands are both fruit juices and fruit drinks.Both have added sugars and no added ingredients.Both can be used daily but Brand one has potassium when compared to Brand two.These kind of health drinks should be limited this both is not as much good as like fresh juices.
