Hi, good question. Fruit juices are basically made with fresh fruit, water and sugar. Sugar has two goals: sweeten the juice if the fruit used is not sweet enough and preserve the juice for days as a natural preservative. In store bought fruit juices the ratio between fruit and sugar can be up to 60% sugar…a bit too much in my opinion. I decided to find an healthy compromise between taste and nutrition adding a bit of maple syrup. I felt that maple syrup was the best option between cane sugar and honey. Honey had a very recognizable taste. Sugar is always my second choice so maple syrup was the winner. That being said you can switch the three of them pending your personal taste. Let me know if you have more questions! Ciao, B
