2. Fruit juice
You’re probably wondering why we’ve included fruit juice on our list of the worst beverages for your health. When a drink contains fruit, most people automatically think it must be healthy. After all, fruits are healthy, right? Well, you may think again.
Unfortunately, fruit juice is often filled with high amounts of sugar, which turns the beverage derived from a very healthy source—fruits—into one of the worst beverages for your health. Let’s take apple juice as an example!
This drink usually contains something called patulin if it is made from low-quality or spoiled fruits. Patulin is a fungal by-product, or myotoxin, as experts call it. Exposure to it can cause gastrointestinal, immunological, and neurological problems.
The FDA recommends limiting exposure to patulin in kids 1-2 years old. Pregnant women should also avoid it.
