Pomegranate and Blueberry Juice Consumer Shopping Guide

A NaturalNews PhotoTour by Mike Adams

Here we see the "O" Organics brand product called, "Organic Blueberry" and in smaller letters: "Flavored Juice Blend"

Right off the bat, the phrase "Juice Blend" should be a red flag. That tells you this isn't 100% blueberry juice. Care to take a guess what other juices they put in the product?

On the right, you can see the ingredients yourself:

Water, organic apple juice concentrate, organic blueberry juice concentrate, organic aronia juice concentrate, citric acid, and natural flavors

In other words, the product is predominantely organic apple juice. The first two ingredients, after all, are water and organic apple juice concentrate. So why isn't there a picture of apples on the front of this juice bottle? Why is it showing only blueberries? Answer: Because the manufacturer wants you to think it's all about blueberries!

Although this product is 100% juice and made from all organic ingredients, I consider it to be highly deceptive. The inaccuracy of the photo (showing only blueberries when apples are are more prominent ingredient) and the use of text on the front label (showing "Blueberry" in large letters, but "juice blend" in smaller letters) both lend themselves to a dishonestly positioned product. In my view, the non-organic Coca-Cola / Odwalla product is far more honest than this "O" Organics Blueberry juice blend product.

On the other hand, some people might really enjoy overpaying for water and apple juice. In that case, this product would be a perfect fit. It's $3.99 for 64 ounces, or over twice the price of organic apple juice.

Believe it or not, however, the "O" Organics brand isn't the worst superfruit juice product on the market. Next we'll take a look at another brand that, in my opinion, is highly deceptive: TrueBlue Blueberry Pomegranate juice...
