Orange Juice = Diabetes

[TVR Andy]

So not only is drinking,red wine) bad for me,apparently water can give you brain damage,now orange juice increases your chance of Diabetes by 24%.
I have a large glass of juice every morning, which I enjoy and thought was good for me.
Question. Is all carton bought juice bad, what can I buy that won't kill me ?

I reckon they're soon find out that eating 5 fruit and veg every day is bad for you. I've already anticipated this and don't bother.

Sounds like a good plan,but..I like my morning juice, and thought it was one of my 5 A-day .

Its all to do with the glycemic index and insulin spike.....just drink your juice with some toast and olive oil spread and you will be fine......(the fat will negate the insulin spike).....

OK, but what about the sugar content in Juice from concentrate ? Is this still good for me?

[swansea v6]

Sugar, either refined, like we put in tea etc or fructose (as found in fruit) is good for an instant short lasting energy spike, but really needs to be limited as it is now believed to be one of the major factors contributing to diabetes. The vitamins in fruit and certain fruit juices are very good for us but in order to minimize the release of insulin you should really eat someting at the same time, either fibre, protein or fat as these will lower the insulin spike caused by the sugar.

Everything in moderation will do you just fine.

Bugger - I thought thge orange juice was offsetting the sausage, bacon and tomato fried in beef dripping. Oh and the mushrooms in butter. Looks like I only have a short time to live

Orange juice makes you obese they say? Well I never drink the stuff as it gives me reflux and acid and I am a fat git! Theory disproved then.

[escargot]

I'd stop being so concerned about it to be honest. Like someone else said, everything in moderation.

Nope, the deep fried breakfast is offsetting the orange juice sugar spike and therefore is good for you!

reads like bull to me

got t2 diabetes and never came across that pony before

red wine is good for u but not a bottle every night, think the water is in the region of 8 pints per day, 8 pints of beer is ok as it contains the right sort of electrolytes

as has been mentioned all things in moderation including exercise
