Ask the doctors: How much fruit can I eat and stay within the sugar guidelines?

I agree that fruit is okay, but fruit juice has too much sugar in it for humans to handle.

 

and a small amount of fiber

 

%%
TRUE;
if one slurps 64oz of orange juice @ once LOL
But real juice 7 oz pac= with 100% vitamin C + about 100caleries=perfect
But have to watch out for the many that spike it with sugar, cane sugar , dextrose sucalose ;
i tend to avoid that cr*p.
Fruit is best, has fiber + no tellingwhat micronutrients in it.
DID you hear about the woman on the news that said ''my daughter thinks she is a cat, what do i do??''
DR said, take her to a vet LOL. She sued him /wow amazing blame shift by that parent

 

Without the fiber it's just sugar water with some vitamins thrown in.

 

I remember reading long ago that drinking up to 4oz of fruit juice was okay. Not sure what the current thinking is about this.

 

For sure. Just sugar water with a bit of vitamin C and some potassium maybe.

 

%%
100% juice, I read the back label,100% vitamin c, for 8 oz.
110 caleries-8 oz, orange juice as an example . 0% added sugars

I get plenty of fiber, 100% whole wheat, brown rice, fresh fruit ,pineapple,[ vitamins].......
Cant really tell much off the front label; they love to hide added refined or cane sugar + fat.
Fresh fruit + homegrown maybe best when available
