Question

Why do doctors usually advise us to consume fruits instead of fruit juices?​

Answer 1

                                             Juicing is no healthier than eating whole fruits and vegetables. Juicing extracts the juice from fresh fruits or vegetables. The liquid contains most of the vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals (phytonutrients) found in the fruit.

                                                     The more concentrated sugar and calories in fruit juice can lead to obesity and inappropriate weight gain. Excessive weight gain is associated with high blood pressure, hypertension, stroke, diabetes and other negative health issues later in life.

                                            Fruit juice is freshly prepared by mashing the pulp of the fruit while a fruit drink is a sugary solution that contains the colour and flavour of the fruit, but not the real fruit juice. ... Fruit- flavoured drinks are made to look like juice, but are just added sugar and water with some flavours.
