Why can eating whole fruit be better than drinking fruit juice daily?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Whole fruit contains more dietary fibre and promotes fullness longer
Whole fruit generally retains more of its natural fibre, which increases chewing and fullness and can slow the release and absorption of sugars. Juice can be consumed quickly and may contain less fibre, making it easier to take in a larger amount of sugar and energy. Whole fruit can still affect blood glucose, so portion size remains important.
