Why is whole fruit better than fruit juice in diabetes risk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Whole fruit provides fibre, takes longer to chew, and promotes satiety
Option A is correct because whole fruit retains its natural fibre and physical structure. Fibre and chewing can slow eating, support satiety, and moderate the rate at which carbohydrate is digested and absorbed. Juice usually contains less fibre and can be consumed quickly in a larger amount, making a rapid sugar and energy load more likely. Whole fruit does not completely block glucose absorption, so option C is false.
