In this study, there were some racial differences in fruit consumption; black girls tended to consume 100% juice at a constant rate throughout adolescence despite drops in total fruit and especially whole fruit intakes. Therefore, among teenagers who rarely ate whole fruit, 100% fruit juice played a particularly significant role in their overall fruit intake. In this study, higher intakes of 100% fruit juice during preadolescence were linked to higher intakes of total fruit, whole fruit, and better dietary quality throughout adolescence.
