Fruit juices have been pointed out as new health risk because of the amount of sugar the healthy drinks are believed to contain.
Researchers from the UK, USA and Singapore found that, in large scale studies involving nurses, people who ate whole fruit, especially blueberries, grapes and apples, were less likely to get type 2-diabetes, which is obesity related, but those who drank fruit juice were at increased risk.
People who swapped their fruit juice for whole fruits three times a week cut their risk by 7%. The British Soft Drinks Association says that consumption of soft drinks containing added sugar has fallen by 9% over the last 10 years, while the incidence of obesity has risen by 15%.
