Which is better – fruit juice from the fruit or from concentrate?
The YESes – vitamins, nutrients and hydration. The NOs – “Punch” and “Beverage,” and read labels to avoid preservatives, additives and extra sugars (every teaspoon = 16 calories). Plus, you already know the whole fruit including the rind (not hard peels like banana, mango, citrus) is the most nutritious.

Raising Children That Other People Like to be Around
After eight years of cello lessons, your child prodigy says, “I quit.” You ask “What am I doing wrong?” The parenting process is designed to succeed, yet millions of parents wonder if they’re doing things “right.” After raising four kids over thirty years, Richard Greenberg shows how tapping into the common sense you already have is the first key to parenting. This book gives parents an overview of the process while offering specific suggestions and guidelines to reduce conflict between parents and their kids, improve communication within any family, and replace the stress of parenting with true common sense.
