Does Fruit Juice Contain Sugars?
Yes, the natural carbohydrate in 100% fruit juice comes in the form of fructose often called “fruit sugar” which research has shown, releases its energy into the bloodstream slowly. That’s because our most popular juices like orange, apple, pineapple and grapefruit all have a low Glycemic Index which means they release glucose gradually into the bloodstream to provide long-lasting energy. Since the Glycemic Index (GI) emerged there has been a revolution in the way we look at the foods we eat and drink everyday. The GI can measure how fast carbohydrate foods and drinks are digested and their impact on our blood sugar levels and the news is very good for fruit juice!
