I would like to ask are they doing anything in their processing plants to minimize waste, either of water or electricity? Sorry, my e-mail was wrong on the previous post.

For example, to get enough calcium, you might get too much sugar. I'll ask, though, to see if they have something different to say. J- Thanks! Great to see you back here. Fantastic question - I never even thought about the pasteurization and its effects on nutrients!

And as far as calcium, if the child is not drinking milk, how much calcium, for example, that found in fortified juice, should she have daily?

These are fantastic questions and I will definitely post the answers as soon as I get them. I wonder if we will be serving more juice in the house after I learn more...or if we will stick to whole fruit, like we do now. Thanks ladies.

Does the pulp actually add ANY fiber? I like to eat whole fruit instead of juice because of the health benefits but if some juice is closer then others to whole fruit, that'd be good to know!
