Fruit Cocktails
Adding fruit to your diet is beneficial, provided you avoid soaking it in syrup. In addition to the BPA present in many fruit cocktail cans, a single cup of fruit cocktail in syrup can contain over 37 grams of sugar , surpassing the sugar content in an equivalent amount of soda. Store-bought fruit cocktails are also often unhealthy due to the addition of preservatives and artificial flavors. These cocktails may lack the natural freshness and nutritional benefits of freshly cut fruits, making them a less nutritious option for meeting your fruit intake goals. Fresh, whole fruits are a much healthier choice than canned fruit cocktails.
