To drink or not to drink fruit juices?

It is true that blood sugar rises after drinking a glass of fruit juice, but in all things moderation is needed. Of course, too much of anything is bad, we all know that.

A glass of fruit juice a day will not cause diabetes and obesity. But if you don’t eat right and lead a frivolous lifestyle, you don’t know how poorly your internal organs function. So, when you drink a glass of fruit juice, you can’t blame the juice for your problems.

A glass of fresh fruit juice is definitely a better choice than a slice of cake or the canned juice you buy off the shelf.
