Growing Plants in Apple Juice edit
Can I put a leaf in diluted apple juice and hope that it will grow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.36.171.210 (talk) 06:37, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Nutrient contents edit
This revert and the statement of no significant nutrient content in apple juice are justified because the FDA labeling guidelines (with no other regulatory or scientific evidence) show in this FDA document, page 94 that a nutrient content is significant only if it is 10% of more of the Daily Value (under "Beneficial nutrients"). In the article - as for other foods - we use the USDA nutrient database, and a reference amount of 100 g (ml) of apple juice. Potassium and manganese have DV contents well below 10%, and therefore are insignificant in content. Zefr (talk) 18:56, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- The FDA document references (page 94) only provides conditions when the word "healthy" may be used (as noted at the top of the page), and in this case at least 10 % DV is needed. But this page does not address significance. That can be found on page 130 in which the "insignificant amount" for vitamins & minerals is "< 2% RDI", and that less than 2% may be expressed as "Not a significant source of _____". This is repeated on page 38. Also, according to [1], nutrients that are <5% DV per serving are considered "low", which is not the same as insignificant. As at least two minerals have >5% DV per a one 8 oz cup serving (which is the serving size of apple juice), not only does apple juice have significant amounts of nutrients, but two nutrients are greater than the "low" threshold.
- a note, I don't feel that either of these cases are necessary for this article and any mention of nutrition can be omitted, but to say "no significant" is misleading and comes across as an opinion that is advocating against apple juice, which should not be the point of a Wikipedia article.

- Nutrient contents are referenced to 100 grams (or ml) for a standard comparison across foods. The nutrition panel for apple juice per 100 ml is remarkable for its relative absence of micronutrient content. FDA guidance to industry for food product labeling includes mention of "moderate" (10-19% DV) or "excellent" (20% DV and higher) nutrient contents in food sources because anything less than 10% is too low - or too "insignificant" - to mention on a product label. For the general Wikipedia user, the article statement about insignificant nutrient content is accurate as stated. For reference, 100 grams of a raw apple has an insignificant content of micronutrients. Zefr (talk) 22:31, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
