Juice sales slide on sugar 1 concerns: start of a Ions decline?

摘要

In some markets sales of juices and smoothies have been falling as the "sugar is evil" message gains ground in the media. Could it be that as alternatives multiply juice and smoothies are going to follow colas and other carbonates onto the path of a long slow decline?The sugar content of foods is top-of-mind for many consumers, kept there by a steady stream of negative media attention and the willingness of some university researchers and health professionals to label it as "evil" and to liken it to tobacco in its degree of harm. Some categories have been hit hard by the attack - but in others sales of high sugar products have actually increased, showing that individual consumers have a complex set of beliefs and varying levels of knowledge.
