Sugars in whole fruits are digested differently than sugars in fruit juice
Sugars in whole fruits are processed differently by the body than those in fruit juices, largely due to the presence of intact cellular structures and dietary fiber that alter glycemic and metabolic responses.
The retrieved literature distinguishes whole fruit consumption from juice consumption, emphasizing how intact fiber, chewing, and fruit matrix structures affect metabolism, glycemic response, and health outcomes like obesity and diabetes risk.
