Fruit Juices May Promote Yeast Infections
Drinking fruit juices may sound like a healthy idea but the high sugar content of some brands may encourage the growth of yeast infections like vaginitis - the inflammation of the vagina characterized by an itching and burning sensation and a thick vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese.
This warning comes from Dr. Felicia Stewart, a gynecologist in Sacramento, California who said that consuming excessive amounts of sugar regularly such as those found in some fruit juices may alter the slightly acidic pH environment of the vagina and promote vaginal infections.
