problemas de salud como caries y
obesidad. También, el jugo 100 por ciento
de fruta no contiene los nutrientes y la
fibra encontrada en la fruta entera.

JUST LOOK TO THE TAP!

a few dollars for bottled water.

Americans buy 29 billion bottles of water each year, and
only 1 out of 6 bottles makes it into the recycling bin.
