Minute maid Juice nourishes the brain?

We purchased the minute maid Pomegranate Blueberry juice


that helps nourishes the brain and body for my 22 month old. My only concern with this drink is that its loaded with sugar. 27 or 29 grams of sugar in every 8 ounce. which is too much.





Is this a good drink to give to a toddler? would it really help nourish the brain?





I also give my toddler 1 bottle of pediasure a day. Is it a bad idea to give both?





Description of the Juice:


Made from a blend of five juices, Minute Maid Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored 100% fruit juice blend is enhanced with 50mg of Martek Biosciences Corporation’s life’sDHA™ Omega-3/DHA per 8 fl. oz serving, and along with these four other nutrients, helps nourish the brain and body:


Choline and B12 -- play a role in brain and nervous system signals,


antioxidant Vitamin E -- helps shield the Omega-3s in the brain from free radicals


antioxidant Vitamin C – is highly concentrated in brain nerve endings

Minute maid Juice nourishes the brain?
If your seriously worried about nutrition then get a vitamin supplement with those nutritions. Fruit juice is one of the worse things to give a child for just a few vitamins. The amount of sugar is outragous in most juices. the pediasure is good if you are truly worried about nutrition. All of this shouldn't be too neccasary as long as you are offering a wide variety of nutritious food.
Reply:Sounds to me like a load of crock. If you really want to give that to your toddler then water it down 50/50. Pediasure is a great thing to give them if they aren't really eating a balanced diet. I know my daughter hates most things we have for supper.


I wouldn't give more then 4 oz of this juice and def water it down.
