Which is Healthier: Fruit Juice Or Fruits?
Most people don't make a distinction between eating fruits and drinking fruit juices - they feel they get the same amount of nutrition from having a fruit whole or drinking its juice. But there is a major difference, which is the amount of fibre in whole fruits when compared to fruit juices.
If you depend on canned or packaged fruit juices, here is something that will take you by shock: canned or packaged fruit juices have a very little percentage of real fruit.
That is precisely why some fruit juices do not even taste even remotely like a fruit. Without much fibre in your body but sugar, there is nothing that you would gain out of drinking fruit juices.
Even if you were to make you own fruit juices at home, know that much of the nutrients is lost when a whole fruit is squeezed to produce juice. Read on to know if fruits or fruit juices is the healthier choice.

Fruits vs Fruit Juices:
Fruit
Juices
Have
Lots
Of
Sugar
If
you
take
a
few
ml
of
fruit
juice,
you
will
find
at
least
a
couple
of
spoons
of
sugar
in
it,
which
in
the
long
run
can
be
harmful
to
your
health.
With
so
much
sugar
spurting
in
your
body,
you
will
experience
a
sudden
burst
in
energy
that
will
immediately
drop,
causing
fatigue,
irritability
and
lethargy.
Fruit
Juices
get
Absorbed
Too
Fast
More
reasons
to
pick
fruits
over
fruit
juice:
A
diet
and
obesity
research
by
the
Medical
Research
Council's
Human
Nutrition
Research
Unit
in
Cambridge
disclosed
the
existence
of
nothing
even
remotely
close
to
a
"nutritious" fruit
juice.
This,
the
lead
researcher
of
the
study
said,
was
because
fruit
juices
get
absorbed
too
soon
by
the
body
and
by
the
time
it
reaches
the
stomach,
the
body
just
would
not
know
whether
the
liquid
was
a
soft
drink
or
fruit
juice.
Fruit
Juices
Ruin
Your
Weight
Loss
Goals
Imagine
that
you
are
given
an
orange
and
a
glass
of
smoothie
that
has
4
oranges
in
it.
Would
you
feel
less
hungry
after
eating
the
fruit
or
post
drinking
the
smoothie?
Experts
would
say
the
first
because
eating
a
fruit
increases
one's
possibility
of
feeling
full
compared
with
drinking
it.
So,
all
that
drinking
a
smoothie
of
4
oranges
offers
is
a
lot
of
sugar.
Should
Fruit
Juice
Be
Completely
Proscribed?
Whether
the
amount
of
fruit
juice
that
you
drink
will
have
favourable
effects
on
your
body
or
not
depends
on
how
you
consume
it.
A
fruit
juice
that
has
been
produced
after
ripping
the
fruit
off
its
fibrous
content
and
other
major
nutrients
is
just
a
glass
of
concentrated
sugar
that
completely
lacks
those
supportive
nutrients
that
help
in
the
process
of
digestion
and
metabolism.
Therefore,
it
can
be
said
that
eating
a
fruit
is
healthier
than
drinking
fruit
juices.
Therefore, it is very easy for someone to consume large number of calories by consuming just one glass of fruit juice even without getting the nutrition that you think you will get. It may seem inspiring to look at packaged fruit juices with "low-in-fat" flashing across the package, but it is for us to realise that this is deceiving. Better still, you must always look at the rear of the bottle or jar and check the different ingredients that went into the manufacturing of the product. You are most likely to find that the real fruit does not even remotely fit anywhere.
So, which one would you now prefer for your breakfast: fruits or fruit juices? We suggest, eat a fruit and pack more nutrients.
