What Nidam al-Tayyibat says
All juices in bottles, cartons or powder are forbidden: the system only recognizes juice squeezed at home, and only for a few fruits. Preservatives and citric acid are the reasons given.
What conventional nutrition says
Industrial nectars often contain as much added sugar as a soda and little fruit.
