Hello and welcome to the forum:

I haven't done this experiment, but I would think the results could go either way depending on the juices used. Could you please post your data? Have you tried different juices and sports drinks as suggested? Have you done enough trials so that your averages are meaningful? Did you carefully clean off your measurement device between tests?

Please let us know this information and we can try to help.
