Thanks for the info. Just a quick irrelevant comment: the word "neat" (not referring to a tidy sock drawer) went out with the 8-track.

Katherine Hobson: Glad you found it helpful. Does this mean I can no longer use the phrase "totally tubular" either???

White grape juice is sugar water; white grapefruit juice is not.

Katherine Hobson: All fruit juice is essentially sugar water, which doesn't mean it doesn't have nutrients as well. According to data from thedailyplate.com, Ocean Spray white grapefruit juice has 33 calories and 7 grams of sugar per ounce, while Welch's white grape juice has about 19 calories and 5 grams of sugar per ounce. You can opt for no sugar added versions to cut down on the sugar calories (though they will not remove them completely), or dilute them with water.
