Yes, these are deceptive. You're typically getting all of the sugar, but none of the fiber along with it that slows digestion (along with other benefits). Eating an apple and drinking apple juice are very different in terms of sugar content and the resultant insulin spike.
That said, I doubt anyone has ever experienced negative health effects from eating too many apples.
- fpoling 10y agoI experienced "negative health effects" after eating in my childhood about 8 kilos of apples within 24 hours. My parents even considered to call an emergency.
- andrewem 10y agoWhat are the effects of eating that many apples in a day?
- EpicEng 10y agoWell, I mean... Yeah, you can drink too much water too, but within reason... Edit: wait, so you ate ~53 apples (googled average weight, came back at ~.15kg)? I call BS.
- fpoling 10y agoI was alone at home and there was a full bucket of tasty apples that our relatives brought from their garden. As a lazy teenager I decided to feed on those rather than prepare food. And consider that if one just eats 3 apples per hour, than in 16 hours that gives 48.
- EpicEng 10y ago...That's a lot of apples
- jacobolus 10y agoYou ate >50 apples in 24 hours? Wow.
- dotancohen 10y agoThat's an apple every half hour, or every twenty minutes if he slept eight hours. I've kept that pace too for hours while coding. Much better to stuff on apples than Cheetos.
- foo101 10y agoWhy wouldn't fruit juices contain fiber? Say I put an apple in my mixer grinder, add some water, grind and mix to create apple juice, what part of this mixing and grinding process would get rid of the fiber? As far as I understand, the fiber should still stay in the juice because I did nothing to take the fiber out of this mixture.
- che_shirecat 10y agoposter above is assuming the consumption of store-bought juice, which is highly filtered and usually from concentrate. not many people have the time or equipment to juice apples themselves.
- EpicEng 10y agoIf you do that you're all good. That's not how store bought juice is prepared though.
- mrfusion 10y agoIt's a really good question. I've tried researching it before and it seems to be an open question whether blending destroys fiber. But even if the fiber stays intact you're going to drink and potentially overdose on a smoothie more easily than a while fruit.
