What's the Latest on Grape Juice?
A report in the Bowditch Group newsletter says:
"Welch's has announced that its Purple 100% Grape Juice meets
the American Heart Association's nutritional
criteria for heart healthy foods and now carries the American Heart Association's
Heart-Check Mark on its packaging. American Heart Association guidelines for food
certification require that the food be low in cholesterol, fat and saturated fat; contain
no more than 480 milligrams of sodium per serving; and contain at least 10 percent of the
minimum daily values for one of six primary nutrients -- protein, dietary fiber, vitamins
A & C, calcium or iron. Welch's Purple 100% Grape Juice contains 100% of the
daily value for vitamin C. In addition to being certified, purple grape juice may
contribute to flexible, healthy arteries, according to preliminary research conducted at
the University of Wisconsin
Medical School. A USDA study also found that Welch's Purple
100% Grape Juice has more than three times the antioxidant power of other popular fruit
juices."

Healthy Living.
Another report claims purple grape juice can help reduce cholesterol and
has a protective anti-clotting
effect.
Another reason to throw out the sodas and
fruit-flavored ades and drink real fruit juice; see Beverages.
Serve grape juice chilled or with ice.
Freeze "Popsicles" of pure grape juice to refresh on hot summer days; Tupperware®
makes cute, eared Mickey
Mouse "ice tups" for that purpose. Make gelatin desserts with
real grape juice; see Black Mess.
Or have a cow-- a Purple Cow
with a double nutrition whammy!
