Weaning off of prednisone & pain management

I guess I’m a little confused as the TJ juice says no added sugar, but lots of naturally occurring sugar. So maybe there are various types of cherries containing differing amounts of sugar. I thought “tart cherries” were all one type?

My bottle says 100% Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice
Total Sugars 28g which includes 0g Added Sugars
120 Calories per 8 oz (240ml) serving

I also have light apple juice which has Total Sugars 11g and 0g added sugar
45 Calories per 8 oz (240ml) serving
59% Fewer Calories and Sugars than regular apple juice.

I guess they just add water to decrease the calories and sugars of the apple juice. I suppose that can also be done with the Tart Cherry Juice to make it "light." The cherry juice alone was too tart for me.

I have mixed 1/2 of the light 42% apple juice and 1/2 of the 100% Tart Cherry Juice together and it tastes good --- more cherry flavor than apple flavor.

I just figured out my "light apple juice" costs the same as the 100% apple juice for the same quantity. I should buy the 100% apple juice and dilute it with 50% water. Then I would have 2 bottles of light apple juice for the same price as one bottle.

I’m confused by it too—no added sugar maybe, but how can it have 0 gms of “natural “ sugar? I thought that they all came from one type of cherry? Maybe the way it it processed? Anyway I will ask my primary doctor. The natural sugar might be ok if I drink a small amount. Otherwise I will just try the capsules. Good luck to you and I hope the juice works for you!
