Fresh juices overrated

The dentist is not so happy with juices full of pressed orange, apple, pineapple, carrot, lime, lemon, grape, etc. Why? The acids ruin your teeth. After every glass of fresh juice, you should drink a lot of water to cleanse your mouth and teeth.

Another con is the lack of fibers. It is far better to eat an apple or orange or pineapple because the whole fruits contain fibers that keep your stomach and body happy.

Another problem with juices is that you can drink in a lazy way (no fibers so no work for mouth, stomach and body!) a lot of juice that is containing the same amount of sugar as the fruits pressed. Can you imagine you eat an orange, an apple and a big slice of pineapple in 5 minutes? Probably you can’t 😇 But you can easily drink the pressed juice in 1 minute… This will affect the blood sugar in a very negative proportion.

Rather drink water, or herbal tea, or soya milk or eat a fruit or vegetable or drink a low sugar vegetable soup.

If you consider to replace wine or beer by its non-alcoholic alternative, always check the sugar content of the alternative before selecting the drink. We created a list of non-alcoholic wines and beers to select from.

The maximum intake of daily sugars is 25g for women and 36g for men. Take a look below and you will see that one glass of freshly pressed orange juice (21g sugar) almost provides the maximum limit of the women…

Shocking news about juices that have been produced by beverage manufacturers. Did you know that most juices contain alcohol? A German institute found between 0,29% and 0,86% in Grape fruit between 0,06% and 0,66% in apple juice, between 0,16% and 0,73% in orange juice… (for more information)

Comparison of apple juice vs the apple fruit:

1 apple pressed results into 20 cl apple juice. The 4g fiber will be decreased to 0,4g fiber. The sugar level stays the same but you will drink the apple juice more quickly and easily than the apple so you will want to need more of the juice.

Comparison between pineapple juice and pineapple:

1 slice of pineapple pressed results into 20 cl pieapple juice. The 3g fiber will be decreased to 0,4g fiber. The sugar level stays the same but you will drink the apple juice more quickly and easily than the apple so you will want to need more of the juice.

Comparison between orange juice and orange:

1 orange pressed results into 15 cl orange juice. The 3g fiber will be decreased to 0,3g fiber. The sugar level stays the same but you will drink the orange juice more quickly and easily than the orange so you will want to need more of the juice.
