As a pediatrician, one of my soapboxes lately. The media has brainwashed
parents into thinking juice is a necessary part of one's diet, and IT IS
NOT! I've had toddlers failing to thrive and having toddler's diarrhea from
too much juice. I tell parents 2-4 ounces a day is plenty, and I'd really
rather them have pureed fruit instead. When that stupid white juice ad came
out I wanted to SCREAM!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!@!!!!!!@#$%#@#$@@
Jumping off her soapbox now,
