Sarah Gottfried explains why fruit juice causes rapid blood sugar spikes like dessert, while whole fruit doesn't. Juice strips out fiber, the thing that slows glucose absorption. Berries, mangoes, and apples are better choices if you want something sweet.
Now, the thing is, if you want to eat something sweet, having a piece of fruit is still the best thing to do because fruit contains fiber. And fiber, as I explained, helps to.
Slow the glucose spike. Which fruits have the best fiber?
Because fruit juice, you're saying, has no fiber. Very little. Yeah, listen, I don't want to call out specific fruits. I think have the fruit you like best. I don't, I mean, okay, fine. If you want me to call out.
Specific fruits, I will.
Berries.
Probably the best option.
Tropical fruit, like mangoes, even apples these days are super sweet. I mean, have whole fruit. I don't want to demonize whole fruit. But what happens is that if you juice fruit, you're throwing away the fiber.
