Washington, February 2: As per the latest study published in Journal of Nutritional Science, drinking 100% fruit juice does not raise the blood sugar levels. The study reveals 18 randomized controlled trials to evaluate the impact of 100% juice from fruits, such as apple, berry, citrus, grape and pomegranate.

Researchers say that fiber that comes in a whole fruit is beneficial for diabetes. A comprehensive data analysis quantitatively assessed the relationship between drinking 100 percent juice and blood glucose control.

Using fasting blood glucose and fasting blood insulin levels as biomarkers for diabetes risk, the systematic review and meta-analysis included 18 randomised controlled trials (RCT) to evaluate the impact of 100 percent juice from fruits, such as apple, berry, citrus, grape, and pomegranate.
