Consuming one hundred percent fruit juice does not alter blood sugar levels, study suggests


January 19, 2018

A new study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science suggests that consuming 100% fruit juice does not significantly impact fasting blood insulin, fasting blood glucose, or insulin resistance.


The results are consistent with prior studies which have shown that consumption of 100% fruit juice is not linked to increasing risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It also supports a growing body of evidence that fruit juice has no significant impact on glycemic control.

I don’t buy it for a minute.  The residue left behind from fruit juice is sticky with sugar content.  There have been too many studies proving the link. 

My mother was diabetic, and I know that ingesting any sugar without fat to slow its metabolization spikes blood sugar.   Eventually your pancreas gets tired of it.

Besides, fruit (orange) juice is given to diabetics to pull up bottoming blood sugar levels.

Who else would say that drinking something with a high sugar conte t did t raise the blood sugar.

Diabetics have been using it to raise their blood sugar for decades.

Yes, there were times when my mother’s blood sugar was dangerously low, and OJ brought it right up.

Once while in the hospital, my blood sugar became too low.  Was given juice and crackers with peanut butter.  The juice and crackers provided carbs to raise the blood sugar and the fat and protein in the peanut butter kept the blood sugar from falling again. 

Doctor told me that if I want the health benefits of fruit, I should eat the whole fruit, not drink the juice.  The juice, even with no sugar added, has way too many carbs.  And juice isn't quite as filling as the whole fruit.

I agree completely.


When I am hungover I have two main goals. I have to keep my blood sugar up and I have to hydrate like crazy.
My go to drink is orange juice. I drink it by the quart while forcing down bananas. And it usually works just fine.
