Big Beverage fruit juice may have added sugar. Regardless, fruit juice (which is fruity sugar water with no fiber), is terrible for us.
Fruit was given to us in a high-fiber package, and should be consumed that way. The fiber also ensure we don't over consume. You might be full after 1 apple, which is like 1/8th a glass of apple juice.
So eating real fruit, you'll get less sugar, and the fiber helps with digestion and getting the other nutrients that are in fruit.
- rMBP 11y agoRegarding "real fruit", how much sweeter is a tomato, an orange, or an apple today compared to past centuries? Haven't most if not all of the commonly available (popular) fruits today been refined through selective breeding to be more appealing to us? What was lost vs. gained in this process? (I have no idea, I'm not trying to be rhetorical. My guess is lots of more sweetness and perhaps less fiber, in a much larger fruit.)
- agumonkey 11y agoPurely anecdotal, sample of one, thing: Eating anything raw feels like free safe guard. Fiber and other nutrients quickly feel bad, your mouth say stop. You rarely eat two apples in a row and wants 2 more. Same for veggies. I believe 90% of cooking is pleasure driven (other than eating / roasting things a bit which helps your stomach apparently) and is detrimental.
