Can fruit juice change your shape from orange to banana?

Science - Health



Specifically, the study found the following results from drinking a daily glass of fruit juice (versus not drinking juice each day):

Lowers the risk for obesity by 22%
(when all external factors were canceled out, the risk was lowered by 14%)

Lowers the risk for metabolic syndrome by 15%

Metabolic syndrome involves the presence of three of the following problems (1) obesity, (2) high level of blood glucose, (3) high level of fasting triglycerides, (4) low high-density lipoprotein ("good" cholesterol), and (5) high blood pressure.

Having three or more of these medical problems increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Dr. Pereira stated, "We know that maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables is linked to decreased risk of some chronic diseases. One cup of 100 percent fruit juice counts as a serving of fruit and, based on our analysis, 100 percent juice consumption is associated with some of these same benefits."  [MarketWatch.com “Fruit juice may help people be skinnier”]

The findings were presented at the Experimental Biology 2009 (EB2009) meeting in New Orleans, Lousiana, U.S.A.
