INTI vs. Oasis and fruit nectars: the truth about 'diluted juices' that are supposedly lighter

⚡ Quick answer: Oasis Apple-Peach-Apricot contains 8.4g sugar/100ml with only 3.5% real fruit juice. Capri-Sun Orange: 10g/100ml. These "fruit" drinks are essentially sugared water with fruit flavors. INTI: 1.19g/100ml natural sugar, single ingredient (pressed ginger shot sugar-free), no flavors.

Diluted fruit juices: anatomy of misleading marketing

  • Oasis Apple-Peach-Apricot: water, sugar, orange juice from concentrate (3.5%), citric acid, flavorings → 8.4g sugar/100ml
  • Capri-Sun Orange: water, sugar, orange juice (10%), sodium citrate, flavorings → 10g/100ml
  • Minute Maid Tropical: water, sugar, concentrated juices (7%), flavorings → 9.5g/100ml

These products are heavily targeted at children (colorful packaging, small sizes, cartoon characters). A child drinking 2 Capri-Sun/day: 44-50g extra liquid sugar — equivalent to 2 colas.
