?Natural juices..Do they have benefits or risks
Dr. Alexei Kabanov, a Russian nutrition expert, revealed the harms and benefits of fresh juices, and the diseases that prevent some people from drinking juices because of them.
The expert said in an interview with the Russian Novosti News Agency: “Sugar is usually not added to fresh juices, and there can be no doubt that they are natural, but there is a negative side to them. Fresh juice is very concentrated and sour, especially orange juice, and drinking it on an empty stomach is bad. Also, Drinking these juices exacerbates chronic gastrointestinal diseases and may increase the level of stomach acidity.”
According to him, eating whole fruits is the best product for the gut microbiome because the body gets dietary fiber as well and not fructose alone. The body absorbs fiber slowly, which achieves greater benefit.
He says: "Drinking fresh juices leads to an increase in blood sugar levels, which increases the risk of diabetes, and for people who already suffer from this disease, high blood sugar levels are unacceptable."
According to him, the blood sugar level jumps when drinking fresh juice because it contains only fructose and does not contain dietary fiber, so it is absorbed immediately.
