Grape consumption associated with healthier eating patterns in US children and adults

(National Grape and Wine Initiative) In a new observational study published in the Journal of Food Science, researchers looked at the association of grape consumption, in the non-alcoholic forms most commonly consumed -- fresh grapes, raisins and 100 percent grape juice -- with the diet quality of a recent, nationally representative sample of US children and adults. Their findings suggest that, among adults and children, consumption of grapes and grape products is associated with healthier dietary patterns and improved nutrient intakes.
