A Prospective Study of Fruit Juice Consumption and the Risk of Overall and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality.

ABSTRACT: There is little evidence for the association between fruit juice, especially 100% fruit juice, and mortality risk. In addition, whether 100% fruit juice can be a healthy alternative to whole fruit remains uncertain. This prospective study utilized the data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2014. After a median follow-up of 7.8 years, 4904 deaths among 40,074 participants aged 18 years or older were documented. Compared to non-consumption, daily consumption of 250 g or more of 100% fruit juice was associated with higher overall mortality (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.52) and mortality from heart disease (HR = 1.49, 95 CI: 1.01-2.21). A similar pattern was observed for total fruit juice, with HRs of 1.28 (95%
