Why may drinking only fruit juice daily not give the same benefit as eating whole fruit?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Juice may contain less dietary fibre
Whole fruit retains its pulp and usually provides more dietary fibre than juice. Fibre supports bowel function, fullness, and a relatively slower rise in blood glucose. Juicing can remove much of the pulp, and packaged or sweetened juice may also contain added sugar. Juice does provide water, so option B is incorrect. For prevention, whole fruit is generally the better routine choice.
