Description
Whole fruit earns its healthy name, but juice may not share the credit for heart patients. Margo Minissian, writing alone in a 2023 commentary, weighs an Australian study on that split. Women with heart disease who drank much juice died sooner.
Their risk ran 74 percent higher in adjusted reads. Eating whole fruit beside the juice still left an 18 percent excess. Juice lacks fiber and packs energy densely, she notes. Its body effect tracks that of sweet sodas more than fruit. The study cannot say which juices or sugars drove the harm. She urges care with juice for women with heart disease.
