What this comparison means

Equal weights are different from a whole apple and a cup of juice. The source portions below keep those weights separate. These source foods do not measure a before-and-after juicing experiment.

Total sugar is not an added-sugar measurement. Neither a difference in total sugar nor an equal-weight comparison alone determines which food fits an individual diet.

Source portions, with their own weights

The following portions are not equal-weight comparisons. Each calculated sugar amount uses the portion weight from its own source record.
