Fruit juices still have the same issues as sodas where it's still liquid carbs.
fruit juices can also have actual nutrition like vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
straight up taxation of drinks, carbs, or calories isnt a smart or viable solution. instead we should be looking at taxing highly processed foods and foods with excessive added sugars, stop subsidizing unhealthy foods like corn used for sugars and factory farmed beef, and start subsidizing foods with redeemable nutritional value
A bit better than soda, but fresh fruits have those elements without it being liquid carbs.
Have you read the ingredients on most fruit juices? When’s the last time you had fruit juice with bits of actual fruit? I don’t think I’ve noticed fruit in anything besides orange juice and lemonade, and not most of those
You know what else has nutrition like fruits? Actual fruits.
