“As it became known relatively recently, only the orange is healthy and its juice is harmful. Especially for people over 40 years old, when chronic diseases, hypertension, excess weight and metabolic syndrome begin to appear. For them, the juice accelerates the aging process,” comments the aif.ru specialist.
The reason is the presence of dissolved sugars in juices, including particularly harmful fructose, and a small amount of fiber. Furthermore, the latter is present in a live orange and, when eaten, remains in the stomach and prevents the absorption of sugars.
According to Gunzburg, we are not just talking about orange juices, but also all others, including freshly squeezed ones. At the same time, nectars and juices are even more harmful than pasteurized juice. For those who like juice or do not prefer fruit, the nutritionist recommends drinking it with meals or eating a muffin with bran.
