About this site
About & legal notice
Who we are, where our information comes from, and what you should know before using this site.
Our purpose
Grape Juice was created to translate, in plain and accessible language, what medical and nutrition research says about the benefits (and precautions) of grape juice at every stage of life: from childhood to older age, including the teen years, adulthood and pregnancy.
We know many families search for this kind of information on their phones, often in the middle of a busy day. That's why we keep content direct, free of unnecessary jargon, and always with the original source cited at the end of each page, so you can dig deeper or verify it yourself.
Our commitment to trustworthy sources
All content published here is based on recognized medical, nutritional and scientific sources, always prioritizing established institutions and publications over secondary or unverified sources. Our references include:
- Agricultural and scientific research institutions, such as Embrapa Grape & Wine (Brazil);
- Peer-reviewed scientific articles, indexed in databases like PubMed/NCBI and university journals;
- Internationally recognized medical centers and academic hospitals, such as the Mayo Clinic;
- Articles with technical grounding, written or reviewed by dietitians and other health professionals.
Each life-stage page lists its numbered sources at the end. If you spot something that looks outdated or inaccurate, let us know; the contact info is at the bottom of this page.
