A member asked:
Can you please describe the negative effects of drinking too much fruit juice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too much sugar: Our bodies need a balance of sugar and fiber, with much more fiber than sugar. Since most of what is removed from fruit to make juice is the fiber, it is the opposite balance of what we need. Most whole fruit has much more fiber than sugar. Search youtube for the video, "sugar, the bitter truth, " by robert lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist. It is about 1.5 hrs long but breaks it down well.
