1. Juice, reconstituted juice, nectar differences
The current Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 April 2012 clearly specifies what juices and nectars are and lists the additives that can be added by the producer. It is worth emphasising the differences between a drink and juice or fruit nectar. The drink may (but not have to) contain fruit juice and, unlike nectares and juices, it may contain preservatives, artificial juices or sweeteners. However, these products should not be included in the diet. The best choice will always be to include sugar. Adding sugar and sweet juices to fruit juices is generally prohibited.2. Nutritional and health properties
Comparison of the nutritional properties of fresh orange juice with the nutrients of fruit juice. However, according to an article published in the journal Nutrients (Iwanow K., Kunachowicz H., Nadolna I.), the nutrient value of selected foodstuffs and typical foods, Warsaw 2011. The most important difference between juice and fruit is that it increases the content of fiber, potassium and beta-carotene in fruit juice. However, as we have found in the article in the Journal of Nutritional Bacteria (Ivanow K., Kunachowitz H., Nadolno I., The nutritive value of certain foods and food products, and the typical food products of Warsaw 2011, Warsaw 2011.. The main difference between the juice and the fruit is the increased content of fibre, potasse and beta carotene from the juice of fruit juices. As a result of the article published by the journal Ivanow Berdenskowski, we find that the effects of such bacteria are likely to decrease in proportion to the consumption of sugar juices, and therefore, due to the reduction of the amount of3.

The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend serving juices to children under the age of one. Experts say that consuming juices for the first 12 months of life has no health effects. Children 1 to 3 years of age are advised to limit their juice intake to 120 ml per day. Children and adolescents 3 to 18 years are not recommended to consume daily portions larger than an incomplete glass. It is believed that excessive consumption of juices can contribute to obesity. Uncontrolled weight gain can occur very easily if a child (and even an adult) satisfies a thirst for semi-fruit juice.5. Summary
