Fruit juice is generally not healthy because it excludes most or all of the edible fruit pulp, which includes all of the fruit's fiber and much of the fruit's antioxidant content. Whole fruits, on the other hand, have been shown time and time again to be a healthy food choice for most people. > Our findings suggest that there is significant heterogeneity in the associations between individual fruits and risk of type 2 diabetes. Greater consumption of specific whole fruits, particularly blueberries, grapes, and apples, was significantly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, whereas greater fruit juice consumption was associated with a higher risk. The differences in the associations between individual fruits were not accounted for by variation in the glycemic index/glycemic load values of individual fruits. Overall, these results support recommendations on increasing consumption of a variety of whole fruits, especially blueberries, grapes, and apples, as a measure for diabetes prevention. https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f5001 https://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f5001 People who look at only the macronutrient ratios (fat, carbohydrates, and protein) while disregarding everything else tend to underestimate the health benefits of fruits. Nutrition is more than just macronutrients.
