Fruit juice and all-cause mortality/survival.

Data about fruit juice was provided by 2 cohorts. A significant protective effect was found in one cohort among both men and women (32), but no association was found in the other cohort (30).

Conclusion: A significant protective effect was found in one cohort only. No evidence was found for an association between fruit juice and mortality.
