The nutritionist named contraindications for the use of fruit juices

On June 25, nutritionist and endocrinologist Anton Polyakov told who is harmful to drink fruit juices.

In conversation with aif.ru The specialist warned that store-bought fruit juices can be dangerous for people with impaired carbohydrate metabolism. According to him, the main problem of such drinks is not their fruit origin, but the high content of simple sugars. Therefore, sweet juices are contraindicated in people with diabetes, insulin resistance, gestational diabetes and other similar diseases.

The expert also noted that the information on the packaging does not always correspond to the actual composition of the product. According to Polyakov, manufacturers often claim strawberries, cherries, pineapple and other fruits in the composition, although the basis of the juice can be, for example, pumpkin, which is given the desired taste and color with the help of flavors, dyes and stabilizers.

Earlier, on June 23, it was reported that frequent consumption of fruit juices and sugary drinks in childhood may increase the risk of developing hypertension in the future. This is evidenced by the results of a study conducted among more than 25 thousand participants and lasted for 25 years, notes 360.ru .

Before that, on June 11, gastroenterologist Ekaterina Kashukh, in an interview with RT, stated that sweet soda in the heat does not quench thirst well and can harm health.

In early June, nutritionist and aromatherapist Elena Milaeva warned about the deadly dangers of soda in the heat. According to her, such a drink not only does not save from dehydration, but also triggers dangerous pathological processes in the body due to excessive sugar content.
