Despite having some health benefits, apple juice is high in sugar. It has 28 g carbohydrates (24 g sugars) per {{convert|8|oz|g|abbr=in|disp=flip}}. This results in 130 calories per {{convert|8|oz|g|abbr=in|disp=flip}} – protein and fat are not significant. Also like most fruit juice, apple juice contains a similar amount of sugar as the raw fruit, but lacks the fiber content.
  A common American phrase for good health is, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.[9]

==Apple cider==
{{main|Apple cider}}
While ''apple juice'' generally refers to the filtered, pasteurised product of apple pressing, an unfiltered and sometimes unpasteurised product commonly known as apple cider in the United States and parts of Canada may be packaged and sold as ''apple juice''. In the U.S., the opposite is often seen; filtered and clarified juice (including carbonated varieties) may be sold as "apple cider", thus there is an unclear distinction between filtered apple juice and ''natural'' apple cider.<ref>[http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_048.html What's the difference between apple juice and apple cider?], ''The Straight Dope''. Retrieved 2008-02-20.</ref> In other places such as New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom, apple cider is an alcoholic beverage.  The alcoholic beverage referred to as ''[[cider]]'' in these areas is usually referred to as ''hard cider'' in the United States.
