@ Chaka. Yes Coke contains a LOT of sugar.
However, Del Monte and to most extant Pick & Peel don't have sugar. And neither adds other junk into their juices.
Coke, on the hand is VERY UNHEALTHY.

Coke, on the hand is VERY UNHEALTHY. All juices contain sugar either sucrose or fructose which are still unhealthy....The some bottled juices have additives which are as harmful as a coke.

Coke, on the hand is VERY UNHEALTHY. Just to clarify, there is a difference between 'fruit juice' and 'fruit nectar'. Fruit juices are like Afia and Pick and peel. They contain between 10-15% real fruit juice, then are topped up with water and sugar and whatever else. Fruit nectars contain 100% fruit juice, with no added sugar or preservatives - these are always indicated on the box. Still contains natural sugars like fructose though.

Boss unaongea the opposite, Nectars contain 25-50% (it has added sucrose and other materials), above that we have the fruit juices which can only have fructose added in case of fruits that require further sweetening!!!! For Kevian: Peek N' Peel is fruit juice: Afya is a nectar!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Pick and Peel is premium....the juice content is different, I think Afia is a nectar!!! What is the difference between a nectar and concentrate?

I happened to work in one of the Juice companies that packs their products in tetra packs just like Delmonte and Pick and Peel. For those who are very very sensitive about your health, Just drink water and when you have time, make your fruit juice at home.
The process was just to import fruit concentrate from Netherlands, buy white sugar, print the tetra packs from Tetrapak and take all this to KWAL. KWAL would do the mixing and of fruit concentrate, water and sugar and pack. Then they would charge for that work. You will be surprised that the single highest cost for a litre of juice before government taxes is the packaging. The fruit concentrate is so little that it does not make much sense to say that you are getting any benefit. You may think that they high cost may mean you are taking fruit juice but the cost from the factory is still very low...then the government charges excise duty and vat. Factor the profit of the producer and even a bigger profit for the supermarket and you have your cost. If you have an average taster, you would not need any one to tell you that afia has nothing to do with pure fruit juice, water and sugar.....their is something else added. Read the label and you will notice they have citric acid as a preservative. Afia may be better than Coke but definitely not for the health conscious.

White sugar can only be added to the Nectars but not fruit juice. Sucrose can easily be detected and KEBS will be in your case if you were to add white sugar and sell it as fruit juice. So the company you were working for was definitely making nectars and selling in tetra paks!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
