Fruit juice makes you fatter not fitter. And we call them health food. yea

 If you are wondering why your ‘healthy’ diet of smoothies and brown bread with honey is failing to reduce your waistline, wonder no longer.

These staples of wholesome eating are, in fact, more likely to make you fatter than fitter.

They are on a list compiled by diet experts at Tesco highlighting options considered healthy but which might be pitfalls for those trying to lose weight.

The list also includes olive oil, juice, chicken, granola, dried fruit and nut mixes, and low-fat biscuits.

Catherine Matthews, a nutritionist with the supermarket, said: ‘You may think a fruit or veggie smoothie is packed with vitamins and minerals, but it’s also laden with sugar. Some contain as much sugar as fizzy drinks.’

For example, Tesco’s Finest Mango Fair Trade Smoothie appears to be a healthy combination of pineapple juice, banana purée and mango.

However, it also has 15.7g of sugar per 100ml, which is almost 50 per cent more than the 10.6g in 100ml  of Coke.

I knew something was always wrong. This juice got more sugar than even soft drinks and you tell me it will makes me slimmer? Common!!! Advertisement lies
