People drink fruit juice mostly because they think it is nutritious and delicious.
Many people think that fruit juice can replace fruit, and drinking fruit juice can supplement nutrients (such as vitamin C) in fruit, especially for children who don't like fruit, and even completely replace drinking water.
Fruit juice can't replace fruit.
Old people and children drink less fruit juice in moderation, which is helpful for digestion, moistening intestines and supplementing the lack of nutrition in diet.
If adults can't ensure a reasonable diet, it is also a good way to supplement some nutrition by drinking fruit juice. Some people don't like drinking boiled water. Sweet fruit juice can increase their water consumption and ensure their body's need for water, which is really a good thing.
Fruit juice retains a lot of nutrients in fruit, such as vitamins, minerals, sugar and pectin in dietary fiber, and its taste is better than ordinary boiled water. Compared with water and carbonated drinks, fruit juice does have considerable advantages.
However, most fruit juices are "delicious" because they are flavored with sugar, sweeteners, sours, spices and other ingredients.
Need to remind everyone that there is a considerable gap between the nutrition of fruit juice and fruit, so don't confuse the two, fruit juice can't completely replace fruit.
First of all, there is basically no cellulose in juice;
Second, the process of crushing and pressing destroys some vitamins that are easy to be oxidized in fruits;
Thirdly, the lack of some nutrients (such as cellulose) in fruits will adversely affect the overall nutritional function;
Fourthly, in the process of fruit juice production, some additives will inevitably affect the nutritional quality of fruit juice, such as sweeteners, preservatives, coagulants to clarify fruit juice, additives to prevent fruit juice from discoloring, etc.
Fifth, the sterilization method of heating will also destroy the nutritional components of fruits. Therefore, for those who can eat fresh fruit, the whole fruit is always the best choice in nutrition.
