It is made as an additive to the concentrate… It has high sugar content
Fruits rich in vitamins and minerals are representative healthy foods, but if consumed in the wrong way, they can be toxic to our body.
Commercially available fruit juices are representative. A lot of people are confused by phrases like ‘fruit 100%’, but is it really 100%? Most fruit juices are not made by squeezing (juicing). After mixing the fruit concentrate with water, liquid fructose, sodium, and additives are added to make it similar to fresh fruit juice. If you look closely at the ingredients label, you will see that most juices are made from fruit concentrate. Most of them are too high in sugar.
Fruit concentrate is concentrated by heating the juice and evaporating the moisture. Most of the nutrients that are good for our body are destroyed during the manufacturing process. In addition, it contains several additives.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Cardiology in 2020, women who consumed one or more sugary fruit juices daily had a 42% higher risk of cardiovascular disease than women who did not. This study was conducted for 20 years on 106,000 women without diabetes or cardiovascular disease. The researchers explained that excessive sugar in the juice increased blood glucose and insulin concentrations, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
If you want to drink fruit juice, it is best to make it yourself from fresh fruit. Fruit juices with quick digestion and high absorption are especially good for the elderly and children. Because there is no separate processing treatment, nutrients remain without being destroyed.
If you make a fruit juice, it is better to put all the seeds and skins and squeeze it. For example, in the case of grapes, resveratrol, which is known to be effective in preventing aging and preventing adult diseases and cancer, is not contained in grape flesh at all. On the other hand, it is found in grape seeds and grape skins. Other fruits also often contain healthy nutrients in the peel and seeds.
When consumed with the peel, the dietary fiber in the peel gradually raises blood sugar levels and has the effect of reducing the negative effect on insulin secretion.
