Squeezing Out The Evidence Diet Quality Fact Sheet
Fruit juice consumption has been associated with better diet
quality.
Findings from a re-analysis of the 2007 Australian National
Children’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey by Flinders
University revealed that when fruit juice was consumed, the diet
was found to be significantly lower in total and saturated fat,
and significantly higher in total folate, carbohydrates, vitamin
C, pro-vitamin A, magnesium and potassium (Flinders Partners
2010). As such, the overall impact of fruit juice intake on diet
quality is positive.
