Know Your Butter

Juice…Not so juicy
Freshly squeezed or not, a glass of fruit juice is not as healthy as we’ve been led to believe. Not all juice is created equally. Avoidance of the nasty ‘fruit juice drinks’ consisting of 20-50% fruit juice, sugar, water, colours and preservatives, is easy….
Honey
