The worst offender is fruit juice. It is practically soda with some vitamin C.
Suppose I'm from a country that does not have fruits. How do you convince me to start eating them from a health perspective? Fibre is in vegetables and I'm not too keen on increasing sugar intake for no reason.
- hinkley 6y agoFruit juice removes all of the fructose from the fiber your body has to scrounge through to absorb the sugar. The overall quantity of sugar may be roughly equivalent, but the glass of juice is going to hit your blood stream almost as fast as a can of coke. Probably as fast since a typical bottle of fruit juice is running about 20 calories more than a soda. Also PSA: Watch out for apple juice in your 100% fruit juice. It is at this point a very old industry trick to use apple juice that's concentrated, increasing the sugar content drastically. If you got a press and juiced your own apples, it would taste like flavored water to you compared to the 'worst' case in bottled juices.
