问题     Though juice was once a bedrock of a balanced breakfast, its place at the table has been looking a bit uncertain these days. Concerns over excess sugar and calories have led many parents to stop buying it—especially after a 2017 recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which said juice provides no nutritional benefit to babies before their first birthday. Even older kids should limit their intake to minimize the risk of weight gain and tooth decay, according to the AAP.
    But is a glass of OJ really a big deal? While limiting sugar and calorie consumption is important, Dr. Wanda Abreu, a pediatrician at New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, says the issue is more about what juice often replaces. Kids are " better off just eating the fruit itself," she says.
    Juice contains the same vitamins and natural sugars found in whole fruit but lacks the satiating fiber that aids healthy digestion and makes an apple or orange a satisfying snack, Abreu explains. As a result, juice is less filling and easier to overconsume than real fruit, and it delivers a big dose of sugar straight to the bloodstream—all of which can lead to weight gain.  Plus, if young kids drink juice all day from a bottle or sippy cup, it coats their teeth in cavity-causing sugars, the AAP says.
    If buying fresh fruit is too costly or inconvenient, Dr. Matt Haemer, a pediatric nutrition specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, recommends offering frozen or unsweetened canned versions over juice. "It’s about establishing a behavioral pattern long-term ... and attempting to improve what we have currently; an epidemic of children growing up in our country for whom it’s not normal to eat fruits and vegetables," he says.
    Still, Abreu says parents shouldn’t feel guilty if their kids drink the occasional glass of juice. Parents should look for 100% fruit juices, not "fruit drinks" or juice cocktails, which typically contain added sugars on top of those found naturally in fruits. And the AAP offers recommendations by age; no juice at all for babies; no more than 4 oz. per day for toddlers; up to 6 oz. per day for kids ages 4 to 6; and up to 8 oz. per day for older kids.
    "Are there better options? Yes," Abreu says. "But we don’t live in a perfect world, so you kind of just do the best you can. "
Real fruit is more beneficial than juice in that_________.
选项 A、real fruit is higher in vitamins than juice
B、real fruit is higher in natural sugars than juice
C、real fruit is easier to overconsume than juice
D、real fruit has some ingredient not contained in juice
答案D
解析 细节题。根据题干中的real fruit可定位至第三段。根据第三段第一句“Juice contains the same vitamins and natural sugars found in whole fruit but lacks the satiating fiber that aids healthy digestion and makes an apple or orange a satisfying snack．Abreu explains”，即“阿布瑞解释说，果汁含有与整个水果中同等的维生素和天然糖，但缺乏有助于健康消化的饱腹纤维，这些饱腹纤维使苹果和橙子成为令人满意的零食”，由此可知juice和fruit中包含的vitamins“维他命”和natural sugars“自然糖”的水平是the same“一样的”，故排除选项[A]和选项[B]。同时，juice中缺乏satiating fiber“饱腹纤维”，satiating一词是否认识没有关系，只需知道是一种fiber“纤维”，也就是说，fruit中包含这种成分，选项[D]是对这句话的正确概括，将satiating fiber抽象为some ingredient“某种成分”。第三段第二句juice is less filling and easier to over consume than real fruit正好与选项[C]的描述相反，故排除。故本题答案为[D]。
