Even those people who rarely drink juices still make an exception on New Year's and allow themselves to indulge in them a little.
But if “indulgence” turns into frequent use, which happens often (juice has this property – to bind to itself), trouble can come.
First of all, this concerns store-bought juices. Products with high sugar content.
Dangerous fructose
Experts say: a standard 1.5-liter package contains 32 sugar cubes.
In fact, we are talking about fructose, which is much worse.
Why? Because fructose goes directly to the liver, gradually turning into regular fat, into triglycerides.
Due to the colossal content of pure fructose, the WHO calls juices products that should be used with extreme caution.
Risk of death
American scientists have come to an even more alarming conclusion.
They studied the diet of 40,000 people aged 45 and over for six years. They found that regular juice consumption shortens life.
Experts say the health risk increases significantly with daily consumption of 350ml of the product.
With such a portion, the risk of death increases by 14%, the risk of heart disease by 40%.
Oncology
Since fructose from juice can only be processed by the liver, there are high risks of metabolic disorders in this organ.
The American Cancer Association claims that juice is a direct cause of some cancers.
In addition, juices are harmful to teeth and greatly add extra pounds.
But not all of them are so harmful. There are less dangerous ones, for example, tomato ones (the only downside is the high salt content), and there are also useful ones.
Thus, nutritionists call green vegetable juice healthy.
