pomegrate juice

I avoid all juices, as a non tea and coffee drinker I only drink water.

These are the ingredients of Sainsburys Pomegranate Juice Drink
Water, Pomegranate Juice from Concentrate (37%), Sugar, Malic Acid, Antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid; Natural Flavouring.

and it has 11.1g of sugar per 100 ml, which is a very small glass.

The branded Pomegreat has several different versions with their 'pure' one has 11.6g of sugar per 100 ml.

I just wouldn't ...
 
hi thank you, its suppossed to be (super fruit), cant find any info on it.normally only drink water & coffee , even no added suger is still very high, will leave it. thanks again
 
When I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago, fruit juice was one of the things that I was distraught about giving up, however I've found that I can still enjoy fruit juices - but in much smaller quantities. For instance a 50ml measure topped up to 250ml with mineral or soda water as a tall, slow drink still allows me to feel like I've had some 'healthy' vitamin C. The fruit taste is still there and the sugar hit doesn't seem noticeable - don't know if I should be doing it, but it works for me! :)

Everything at the moment is a learning curve for me, so discovering I could do this was a great boost!
 
If you drink pure juice not from concentrates and dilute it this should not raise bgs too high ,but test and see

Juices contain sugars so best drunk in SMALL quantities and diluted. Juice Drinks are FUll of sugar

Pomegranate juice has the same amount of sugar as coke does. So if you wouldn't drink a can of coke, don't drink the pomegranate. Or dilute it heavily.
 
There is a no added sugar version of pomegranate juice available ( I think from Sainsburys ) which is 4.6g/100g, so that might be better. :|

Hi salliet,
This article suggests that health benefits for this drink are overrated.

A medicine glass of any fruit juice, well diluted should be OK but you need to test.
 
Pom Wonderful is available in the fresh juice section of many supermarkets and is 100% pure pomegranate juice. It's quite expensive but very nice - I find that I just have a little and dilute it with filtered water or sparkling water for the occasional treat. Here is a link to the full nutritional data for it

But in a nutshell 16g Carbs (14g sugars) per 100ml (64 kcal).
