Dr. Susan Johnson DC
Family Chiropractic Healthcare
Where are you from?
Northern Illinois
Physician Biography:
Dr. Johnson is a chiropractic graduate of National University of Health Sciences and a marketing graduate of Northern Illinois University. While working as a massage therapist and attending chiropractic college, Dr. Johnson was in a severe car accident. The physical trauma temporarily forced her to drop out of school and take a leave of absence from work. Coupled with many years of stress, she experienced debilitating fatigue. She struggled many years to regain vitality with no success. Finally, the answers to the CAUSE of the fatigue were revealed when she started to study clinical nutrition. “The solution to prevent disease and resolve chronic health problems is available to you today. I urge each of you to choose the nutritional approach to bring your health to a higher level.”
Specialties and Strengths:
The focus of our work is preventive care and improvement of chronic conditions which do not respond well to traditional medical protocols. We strive to find the CAUSE of the problem before wellness is compromised further. The solution then is to solve the problem by using DIFFERENT diagnostic tools and DIFFERENT corrective protocols.

A Review of the Relationship Between 100% Fruit Juice Consumption and Weight in Children and Adolescents

Studies assessing a relationship between consumption of 100% fruit juice by children and adolescents and weight are contradictory. The purpose of this review was to assess the 9 cross-sectional and 12 longitudinal studies that have looked at this association. Of the 9 cross-sectional studies reviewed, only 3 reported any association. Those studies used small, local convenience samples of preschool children; furthermore, selection criteria were not well defined. One found that preschool children consuming 
12 fluid oz/day of 100% fruit juice had a higher prevalence of overweight than those who consumed less than 12 oz/day (32% vs 9%). Later, a separate study showed that this relationship held only for apple juice. Another study demonstrated an association of overweight and energy from juice. These 3 studies were not nationally representative. Only 3 of the longitudinal studies showed an association between 100% fruit juice consumption and weight; 1 found an association only in adolescent girls, and 2 reported an association in children who were already overweight. None of the longitudinal studies was nationally representative, but 5 had sample sizes of at least 1000, 2 were ethnically diverse, and 3 had geographically separate sites, suggesting that the findings could be applicable to wider populations. Based on the currently available evidence, it can be concluded that there is no systematic association between consumption of 100% fruit juice and overweight in children or adolescents. Data do support consumption of 100% fruit juice in moderate amounts and suggest that consumption of 100% fruit juice may be an important strategy to help children meet the current recommendations for fruit.
