yup pressing/blending fruits destroys any nutritional value
That is utter nonsense.
Yes, whole fruit is healthier than blended fruit or juice. No, that does not mean there is no nutritional value.
- icebraining 9y agoWhy is whole better than blended? Assuming you blend everything that you'd otherwise eat, that is.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoMy understanding was that blending caused insoluble fibre to be less effective, but I might actually have been wrong about that. I would expect blending however to increase the adsorption speed of fruit sugar and affect blood sugar levels more rapidly, which might be somewhat negative. It’s certainly not as clear-cut as I thought, and I reckon smoothies are probably still pretty good if you aren’t overdoing it!
