Juicing or smoothies: which is better for us?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Um. Neither? If you want fruits—eat them whole, and in moderation. Blending cuts the fibre strands and make them ineffective at absorbing the sugar. Juicing separates the juice from the pulp entirely, which is even worse. Fruits are full of sugar. Sugar makes you fat. I wouldn’t be surprised if those electric juicers, and the popularity of smoothies has made a significant contribution to the USA’s diabetes and obesity epidemic—and people think they’re some sort of healthy alternative.
