Ned's friends know he has become leery of drinking fruit juice, because of the high glycemic index, low fiber, and high sugar. It is not a very good way to get vitamins either--since there is too much sugar. Ned recommends eating fruit: more fiber, it takes longer so you eat less, and very good source of potassium in many cases.
Ned would also like to reiterate his disdain for those "organic" juices that advertise themselves as "blueberry", "cherry", "pomegranite" and the like, when in fact they are mixtures of apple and perhaps grape uice, high in sugar, with a token amount of the other fruits in big letters on the label. Read the label carefully. Ned advises his friends to check the sugar content of any such juices, and avoid them if they have more than about 12 grams per serving.
Ned also reminds his friends about the virtues of Trader Joe's "Garden Patch" low sodium vegetable juice: high in fiber, low in sugar, and low in salt.
