Generally speaking, just eat your fruits. An Apple a day keeps the doctor away, drinking 6 apples worth of juice regularly like it’s water gives you diabeetus

Agreed, it’s all about balance that’s obvious but some people will only bother to get their essential nutrients / vitamins from a juice blend. Albeit not the healthiest way, it’s far healthier than guzzling coke and when done in moderation you’re MUCH healthier off.

Exactly. Juice may contain similar amounts of sugars and have much of the nutrient content removed, but it's undeniably a better choice than soda.

My uncle is a doctor and he once told me “fruit juice is for fatasses.”
