Question 5 of 10

Lacy never eats fruit and knows she needs more of it in her diet, so she
decides to buy a 1 L bottle of 100% juice everyday and drink it. She varies
which type of fruit juice she buys each day. What is wrong with her plan?

Lacy's nutritional needs.
OB. Fruit juice does not count at all as fruit intake in Lacy's daily food
plan.

and stay with it each day.

only fruit juice.

Answer 1

D. The majority of Lacy's fruit intake should be from whole fruits, not only fruit juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lacy's plan of drinking a 1 L bottle of 100% juice every day is not sufficient to meet her nutritional needs for fruit intake. While fruit juice does contain some nutrients found in whole fruits, it lacks the fiber and other important components that whole fruits provide. The American Heart Association recommends that individuals consume whole fruits, rather than fruit juice, as the majority of their fruit intake. Therefore, Lacy should aim to incorporate a variety of whole fruits into her diet, in addition to her daily bottle of fruit juice.
