A study conducted by the University of Liverpool, England revealed that packaging fruit drinks such as juices and smoothies contain high levels of sugar.
The researchers explained, fruits contain natural sugars that are already high enough.If the sweetened drinks, the risk to health in the long term. Especially in children.
Reported by the Daily Mail, the sugar found in fruit is chemically similar to the form of sugar found in refined sugars in fruit drinks packaging.
The difference is, the fiber in fruit drinks packaging has been processed, making it easier to split the body.
Therefore, if the sugar is not burned rapidly, it could trigger a spike in energy quickly and lead to weight gain.
The study also found that many fruit drinks packaging product designed for the nutritional needs of active adults and not for children.
"Sugar content of fruit drinks packaging, including natural fruit juices dansmoothie found to be very high and smoothies are the worst," said the study's authors, Simon Capewell.
While dieticians, Brigitte Zeitlin rate, although the sugar originated from healthy sources, such as fructose, still have to restrict the intake. For example, large-sized apples have almost the same amount of sugar with a small bottle of soda.
However, fresh fruit high in fiber and do not really need a lot of energy to digest it. This makes the sugar content did not have a chance to damage the health of the body.However, this does not apply to bottled fruit drinks.
"The main thing that you miss when giving children fruit juice packaging is fiber. In fact, fiber helps the child feel full and controls blood sugar spikes so that children will not be excess sugar. Without fiber, sugar can enter the bloodstream at once," said dietitian in New York, Lisa Moskovitz.
Capewell was hoped, these findings could provide a change in the regulation of bottled fruit drink sales in the UK and in other countries, to protect the health of children.
To stay healthy, Moskovitz advised to give children fresh fruit or fresh fruit juice without sugar for a snack and avoid fruit juice packaging.
