Lifestyles Ideas Management - Overly processed fruits

Fruit bars
It contain large amounts of added sugar
Water-soluble vitamins can be destroyed during processing

Juices
They do not have most of the fibre that is available in real fruit.
Unless the juice is freshly squeezed and drunk immediately, a good percentage of the vitamins can oxidize and will not be able to serve their purpose

Dried fruit
The fibre is still present but water soluble vitamins can be destroyed during processing

Water fortified with fruit essence
They may have a little vitamin C, potassium and sodium but can contain added sugar and flavorings
