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 worried it might be too tart for me also, lol! I do like sweet flavor! I will ask my doctor and see what she says, otherwise I will probably end up trying the capsules.
Very creative what you did with the apple juice!

I often add water to juices, though I rarely drink juice. It's easy to add water as ice cubes to juice or your fav soft drink, then drink it slowly so the ice melts. Since I mostly drink water or decaf iced tea (no sweetener), this is actually my preference to reduce that syrupy and extremely sweet character.
