Adviser to the UK Government on health, Professor Susan Jebb encourages people to abandon the use of orange juice. It contains as much sugar as in cola.

Orange juice

Professor Jebb itself some time ago completely excluded Orange juice from your diet, and now offers all the other people who lead healthy lifestyle To follow suit, or else dissolve the drink water before use. This scientist gives advice to the government, which then turn into official recommendations for all citizens. For example, in the UK there is a recommendation on the use of five servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

"I would not include Orange juice   in the rule five servings - says Professor Jebb. - Content of mineral nutrients in the beverage can not be compared to the same period in these fruits and vegetables, because juice contains as much sugar as soft drinks and classic. In addition, it is absorbed by the body too quickly and by the time when the drink reaches the stomach, the body does not quite understand, coca-cola or juice it. "

According to the scientist, the man would be easy to give up the orange juice, replacing it with real fruit. Professor Jebb said recently that sugar becomes a threat to the nation, as tobacco or alcohol, urging food manufacturers to reduce the sugar content in their products by at least 30%. This professor Jebb was supported by many other scientists who have calculated that a reduction of sugar will reduce the daily diet of the average person 100 calories. Given the obesity epidemic gains speed, this reduction seems to be quite relevant. (READ MORE)
