Juice concentrates more sugar than fruit<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Despite industry marketing pressure, daily or frequent consumpiton of fruit juices is not recommended, even if it is homemade. And much less if it is diabetes around.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

The inclusion of juices in the diet on a regular basis, is associated with a worse health prognosis. At least this is what the most prestigious and involved health institutions warn us.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"zumoThe traditional image of a fruit juice couldn’t be more pleasing and wonderful. For some time now we have been sold as if it were an elixir, not of eternal youth, but of better health. However, with the data in hand, taking into account what really happens with their consumption – and leaving aside those theories more or less complacent – the inclusion of juices in the diet on a regular basis, is associated with a worse health prognosis. At least this is what the most prestigious and involved health institutions warn us.<\/p>\n

The reason is the amount of sugar contained in a juice. Thus, in a ration of juice there is as much sugar as the one found in three servings of and it does not matter if the juice is natural or packaged. In this way by putting three portions of fruit in the form of juice, we put all that sugar in a single glass. In a glass of juice there is the same amount of sugar as in any commercial soda.<\/p>\n

That is, compared to the sugar of a piece of fruit that is a lot of sugar. Since juices have this false healthy image it is easy to drink two or three glasses, which multiplies the amount of sugar ingested, thinking that you are making a healthy choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The inclusion of juices does not come out well in the recommendations either.<\/h3>\n

\"pikwizard-bae1660ef244c43c2d234ebc01af2657\"Many health institutions and groups warn of the danger of including fruit juices in the diet, especially if this inclusion is intended to replace the consumption of fruit. Let us specify the opinions of some of these groups:<\/p>\n<\/div>

The American Academy of Pediatrics <\/a>warns in its recent document “Fruit juices in babies, children and adolescents: current recommendations” that based on the most current evidence focusing on the incidence of childhood obesity and oral health, it is recommended not to provide any amount of fruit juice in the diet of children under one year. And he maintains that fruit juice does not contribute anything that the child cannot acquire from other food sources (mainly fresh fruit) and that, if at the same time it were included, it would contribute significantly and unnecessarily to increase the amount of sugar in their diet. And from the first year of life, the amounts of juice that are recommended “not to exceed” are frankly small:<\/p>\n
