It depends on how much juice you’re drinking and the type of juice as well. Fruit juice naturally contains lots of sugar and because of the juicing process, any insoluble fibre is removed. Fibre naturally slows the absorption rate of the sugar and makes us feel more full, so without it we can easily overconsume. Recent research has also found that too much fruit juice can damage your teeth and lead to type 2 diabetes as well, so it’s important that we drink it in moderation.
That said, fruit juice still counts as one of your five-a-day and will give you added vitamins and nutrients. If you want to reduce how much sugar you take in, you can always try juicing with vegetables instead, such as carrots, cucumber or celery.
