Apple juice diluted with water

Here's a perfect example of why you should always approach "healthy" labeling on food products with a skeptical eye... a quick side-by-side comparison of regular Mott's apple juice with new Mott's Plus Light... except for a few added vitamins, the Light product was just Mott's juice diluted by 50% with water—but selling for the same price as the 100% juice.

  1. This happens a lot. One key give-away is that it has packaging to claim how "healthy" it is. The fresh food that is best for you just sits there and does not.

    I think you'll find this very interesting:
