Why may fruit juice be less suitable than whole fruit in diabetes?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Juice may have less fibre and quicker sugar availability
Juicing removes or reduces much of the fibre and makes it easy to consume the sugar of several fruits quickly. Whole fruit requires chewing, retains fibre and generally makes portion control easier, although its carbohydrate still counts. Unsweetened juice is not automatically harmless, so option A is correct.
