"100% Orange Juice Lowers Daily Blood Glucose Levels Compared to Orange Drink, Study Finds"

A study from Toronto Metropolitan University found that consuming 100% orange juice before a meal leads to lower daily blood glucose levels and reduced food intake compared to an orange-flavored sugar-sweetened beverage. The research emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between sources of sugars when considering overall health effects and suggests that replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with 100% orange juice may contribute to healthier body weights and improved glycemic control. The study, published in the journal Nutrients, highlights the potential benefits of 100% orange juice, which contains flavonoids that may impact sugar absorption and delay glycemic response.
