Nowadays, many juices come in 10 percent, 15 percent, and 40 percent, just to get people to buy them with a cheaper price. Would you rather buy 100 percent juice or 50 percent juice at half price?

As a person on a budget, I would totally go for the 50 percent juice. I would just dillute it with water to cut the sugar a bit. Most of these juices are fortified with vitamins, so it's not really the juice itself that is giving the nutrients. Truth be told, most mass produced juices, 100% or not, are still pretty stripped down. To get the whole value of the fruit, you really need to buy the fruit and make your own fresh juice. When I can afford it, I like to buy 100%, but it is with the realization that it ususally has the same pasteurization/stripping process as other juices.

It is for sure that you get 100 percent when you get it from the fruit itself but it would take a lot of time and effort to juice them. Although 100 percent expires sooner than those in adulterated form, it just proves that its all natural.

In Malaysia, it's really hard to get 100% natural juices. And even if it's stated as 100% fruit juice, there is added sugar. I prefer to blend fruit juices at home iwth my good 'ol blender. That way, I can be sure I'm not taking in more sugar than the juice itself!

100% is also hard to find in the Philipppines or in Taiwan, and I think in many other countries as well. It seems people are getting used to drinking drinks of sugar water with aritificial flavors and food coloring. I don't have much time to do the blender thing with its cutting and washing, so I just grab a banana.

Is there such a thing as 100 percent juice powder when sugar would surely be one of its many ingredients? I am refering to juice drinks in its original liquid form.
