More fiber, less sugar.

How is there any less sugar in the fruit, than in the juice it produces?

I'll buy the fiber part, because eating the fruit, we ingest more of the pulp. But the juice is same.

 

[Aneeda72]

Because you are not drinking just one orange, for example. You are drinking several, therefore, more sugar. When you eat an orange you generally only eat one.

 

[rgp]

Aneeda is correct. Always eat the fruit and not the juice. You get more fiber and a lot less sugar. We were taught this years ago in school and from parents.

Well, you were taught incorrectly.....if you take a juicy bite of a fruit , or squeeze the juice from that fruit...it is the same juice.

 

[RadishRose]

Squeeze an orange or press an apple and see how much juice you get. Compare that with the average amount of juice we pour into a glass.

Yes, But.............if you eat one orange, you eat one orange. If you drink just the juice, you are consuming several oranges.

No, I wasn’t taught wrong. If you squeeze the juice from ONE orange it’s the same, if you squeeze the juice from two oranges, and drink it, it’s twice the sugar.

Yep. And we said this obvious fact at the same time!

 

[rgp]

Because you are not drinking just one orange, for example. You are drinking several, therefore, more sugar. When you eat an orange you generally only eat one.

Now you are talking amount, How do you know how much I might drink?

 

[terry123]

Not taught incorrectly rgp! Juice has nothing to do with it. You get the fiber benefits.

 

[RadishRose]

Fiber helps break down the carbs in the sugary juice.

 

[RadishRose]

Now you are talking amount, How do you know how much I might drink?

Don't know nor care. You just like to argue.

I'm type 2 diabetic. I listen to my doctor and nutritionist. Think what you like.

 

[rgp]

Yes, But.............if you eat one orange, you eat one orange. If you drink just the juice, you are consuming several oranges.

If I squeeze the juice from an orange & drink it, I am consuming what ever that sugar content is. If I eat that same orange, I am consuming that same amount of sugar content.

By your logic, if I eat two oranges, I have negated the health aspect of oranges, because I consumed two. And ingested the higher amount of sugar.

 

[Pepper]

I meant, in my clumsy way, to say a glass of juice contains several oranges & none of the fiber.

 

[rgp]

Don't know nor care. You just like to argue.

I'm type 2 diabetic. I listen to my doctor and nutritionist. Think what you like.

I like to argue ? Why?...because you can't trump my argument?

You honestly believe that there is a difference between, the juice you squeeze from a fruit, and the juice you ingest taking a bite from that fruit?

 

[rgp]

I meant, in my clumsy way, to say a glass of juice contains several oranges & none of the fiber.

But there is a [lesser] amount of fiber, in the juice. The juice is not void of fiber entirely.

ok.

Sorry I made your head ....POP But I just believe it is irresponsible to post advice that is not accurate. And it is inaccurate / incorrect to say that the juice from a fruit contains more sugar than the fruit it was just squeezed from. That just defies logic.

Same here, type two diabetic, and not allowed to eat much fruit, lol, but if I discuss this anymore I might need to start to drink.

 

[debodun]

I get unsweetened juice. I avoid fruit "cocktails". They have a lot of added sweeteners.

No one said that. No one cares how much juice you drink, knock yourself out. Goggle it, ask your doctor, or just remain ignorant.

So now you are stooping to name calling ?

You profess me to be ignorant, when I say the juice from a fruit has no more sugar, than the fruit itself?

Might want to double check your logic there.

No one said that. No one cares how much juice you drink, knock yourself out. Goggle it, ask your doctor, or just remain ignorant.

No one said that? That is exactly what you & others are saying.

Sigh. I didn’t call you a name. You might want to look up the definition of “ignorant“.
