no that's not true. current thinking is just that if you eat fruites and vegs that you probably don't eat so much that you can get sick.
however when it comes to drinks (i.e. smoothies, apple juice, orange juice) we already know that they could be as worse as cola. (from a sugar perspective). fructose is as worse as sacarose for a human beign if you eat/drink too much of it. it is just worse in another way i.e. it can give you different diseases.
Well the problem is just that people consume way more sucrose than fructose. That's why there is probably never a bad word about it.
Basically everything should be consumed with care and moderation, but with the current generation it gets harder and harder (less time -> less time to cook -> excessive use of fast food, etc..)
- DanBC 9y agono, really, current thinking is that whole fruit is better than juice or smoothies because blending releases the sugar, which is otherwise somewhat bound to the fibre. Of course, it's far easier to overconsume blended fruit, but there are studies showing an increased risk of t2 diabetes from drinking limited amounts of fruit juice, and over consumption isn't the whole story. https://www.nhs.uk/news/diabetes/fruit-may-lower-diabetes-risk-while-juice-may-raise-it/ https://www.nhs.uk/news/diabetes/fruit-may-lower-diabetes-ri... https://www.nhs.uk/news/diabetes/fruit-juice-and-type-2-diabetes/ https://www.nhs.uk/news/diabetes/fruit-juice-and-type-2-diab...
- lemming 9y agoRight, fruit juice is definitely problematic since it completely removes the fibre. I only skimmed those articles but it seemed to be talking about juice, not e.g. smoothies where the fibre from the fruit is still present. If I make a smoothie from a packet of blueberries, I assume that gives more or less the same benefits as eating them.
