Here Kombucha has come to our rescue. Though there is sugar added at the beginning for the yeast to start working its magic; by the time this beneficial potion is ready, the sugar level gets drastically reduced, about 2-8 grams per 8 oz versus almost 24 grams in 8 oz of Orange juice.
Apart from high sugar content in juice, Kombucha wins this race by having heavy hitters like Probiotics, Enzymes, Amino Acids, Antioxidants, and Organic Acids.
