Should or Shouldn't for Grape Juice

Why You Avoid Grape Juice
It’s high in sugar, and, well—it’s for kids, right?

Why You Shouldn’t Avoid Grape Juice
“Grape juice offers similar benefits to those found in red wine,” says Suzanne Farrell, M.S., R.D., owner of Cherry Creek Nutrition and a representative for the American Dietetic Association.

According to Farrell, there are many reasons to have great grape expectations—after all, grapes are loaded with powerful antioxidants. Studies have shown that grape juice may help lower blood pressure and slow down “bad” cholesterol, and it might even help prevent or reverse the effects of aging on short-term memory.
But, like servings of red wine, don’t drink to excess. More servings don’t necessarily mean more benefits, and the calories will add up quickly: an eight-ounce serving of grape juice contains 170 calories, 40 grams sugar and 42 grams total carbs.
