More sugar than most people should have in a whole day.
Cranberry Juice carries roughly 31 g of sugar per 1 cup, which works out to about 12.1 g per 100 g. That places it in the 'very-high' band for a typical serving.
Because this sugar occurs naturally in the food itself, it typically comes packaged with fibre, water, or other nutrients that slow how fast it hits your bloodstream — unlike the same amount of sugar added to a processed product.
