"All Natural Ingredients" CAN Be A Good Thing But It Is Not Automatically.
Concentrating fruit juice until it's equivalent to sweetener may not be good for you but it is still natural and marketers will hype it as so. Sugar and corn syrup are natural. Frankly feces and arsenic are natural. So buy and eat natural foods but read the label first and use your head.

The US government uses the word "organic" to indicate food grown without artificial fertilizers and packed without artificial preservatives. The US government uses the word "natural" to indicate food grown with chemical fertilizers but packed without chemical preservatives

If natural equals good, healthy, etc then I guess I we should all go roll around in poison ivy.

Lets put this in perspective. I personally would not recommend anyone drinking 8 to 12 ounces of orange juice but we all know a lot of people do this and the media pushes it. But when you think about it, 8 ounces of orange juice is about 5 or 6 oranges. How many people you know eat 5 to 6 oranges in one sitting. Again, people need to learn how to put things in perspective. America has not been taught moderation of any sort.

Natural ingredients can be equally or even more so harmful then artificial or unnatural ones. What constitutes as a natural substance in this day and age can be controversial, and often confusing. Would a radioactive element such as Radon be natural? Would a piece of plastic be natural since it is comprised of natural products extracted from the natural world? It's hard not to think that everything is natural.
