Wonder if Pasteurized juice have some nutrional value or not?

I am drinking a juice called Old Orchard juice but it is pasteurized. Pomegranate and blueberries.

It is better than to having NO juice. But the best juice is fresh. I don't know about you but I don't always have the resources for juice made from things like Blueberries or Poms.

Reply:pasteurized means it was heat treated to destroy germs but that also destroys the good stuff in it also. the juice has some nutritional value
Reply:It does but you are better off juicing from home. Pasteurizations kills the natural enzymes from fruits and vegetables which are very beneficial. Also pasteurized juices have preservatives added.
Reply:Of course it has nutritional value.


But beware.....juice is sugary and is an easy way to add cals. to your diet which will make you gain weight.
Reply:Very little. It's pasteurized for one thing, it's also mostly water, corn syrup, sweetener and very little fruit juice. You're better off buying 100% juice, or even better, juicing your own.
Reply:The juice still has some nutritional value, but much of it is destroyed by the pasteurization process (heating). Often manufacturers will add some vitamin C after pasteurization.





Some other responses were not entirely correct. Pasteurized juices are not necessarily filled with preservatives or sweetened. Often they are just pure juice, heated to destroy bacteria.
