So what is sugar?

Processed sugars are more than natural sugars every day! To create pure juices with the least amount of sugar, it is recommended to use low-sugar fruits, avoid using fruits with high sugar content, and focus on juicing vegetables.

Juicing has become a popular way to improve and maintain overall health. However, the sugar content of fruit juices, especially fruit juices, has raised concerns about their impact on well-being.

Natural sugar and processed sugar

Pure fruit and vegetable juices contain sugar because they contain all the sugar in them. However , the sugar in pure fruit juices is different from the sugar in unhealthy "junk" foods and drinks. Foods and drinks like candy and soda contain processed sugars that have little nutritional value, are high in unhealthy fats and calories, contribute to weight gain, and pose overall health risks.

In contrast , pure fruit juice contains natural sugars, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Between the two , natural sugars are the healthier choice as they are digested more slowly, help maintain stable blood sugar levels, and support a balanced metabolism.
