Fruit juice Closely Related to Diabetes

Women who want to avoid type two diabetes should fill their plates with green vegetables and all kinds of fruit. However, they recommended postponing the consumption of fruit juice.

With the increasing consumption of fruits each day, or increase the intake of green vegetables, like spinach, will reduce the risk of developing diabetes at the age periods above 18 years. This is based on health studies involving 71,346 nursing female respondents as published Diabetes Care, July 2008.

"The decrease risk of diabetes was done with a simple. This will not prevent diabetes if you have a lot of risk factors and obesity, "said Dr Lydia A Bazzano of the Faculty of Public Health and Tropical Diseases at Tulane University, Orleans, told Reuters news agency, in New York.

Bazzano and colleagues analyzed dietary data on 4529 participants who had diabetes type two. They divided the participants into five groups based on fruit and vegetables consumed and also grouped according to consumption of fruit juice.

They found that increased consumption of fruit three times a day associated with a reduced risk of diabetes type two reached 18 percent. If you multiply the consumption of green vegetables, it will reduce the risk of diabetes by 9 percent. However, the addition of fruit juice consumption may actually increase the development of diabetes, approximately 18 percent.

Bazzano stated, logically, there are certain mechanisms that make the fruit juice can increase the risk of diabetes. "Fruit juice contains high sugar levels and this is a liquid form that can be absorbed quickly," he said.

Based on these findings, people are suggested to be very careful if you want to replace some drinks with fruit juice as an effort to implement a healthier lifestyle. Similar warnings are given to the recommendation to drink 100 percent fruit juice according to national guidelines on the composition of food. (Reuters / EVY)
