A study published in the Journal of Nutrition <\/em>examined\nthe diets of over 36,000 adults in the Netherlands and reports that the intake\nof pure fruit juice, such as 100% orange juice, was not associated with a\nhigher risk for type 2 diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumption of any amount of fruit juice, including the\nhighest intake category of eight or more glasses per week, was not associated\nwith an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, according to the study.  When the researchers isolated citrus juice\nintake (orange and grapefruit juice combined), the results were consistent – intake\nof citrus juices was not associated with an increased risk for diabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study reinforces the case that fruit juices are not the\nsame as sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), particularly with respect to\nmetabolic effects and risk for diabetes. One hundred percent fruit juices have\nlower glycemic index compared to SSBs and contain beneficial nutrients not\nfound in SSBs, including vitamins, minerals, and bioactive\/polyphenolic\ncompounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An 8-ounce glass of 100% orange juice is an excellent source\nof vitamin C, a good source of potassium, folate, and thiamin, and supplies hesperidin,\na polyphenol that has been shown to have health benefits. Orange juice also\ncounts as a fruit serving to help meet fruit intake recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study used data from the European Prospective\nInvestigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Netherlands cohort, which began collecting\ndiet and health data in 1993 through 1997 from adults age 20 through 70. The\nstudy examined dietary records completed at baseline and categorized fruit\njuice intake into several intake categories ranging from none to eight or more\nglasses per week (one glass was considered to be approximately 5 ounces). The\nstudy identified 1,477 verified cases of type 2 diabetes over an average\n14-year follow up period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage of this study is that it examined data from a\nlarge number of individuals who were followed for a long period of time.\nHowever, as a prospective cohort study, data are self-reported, and it cannot\nshow cause and effect.  While the\nanalysis took into account important factors that could affect  results, such as age, sex, education level,\nphysical activity level, body mass index and overall diet quality, prospective\ncohort studies are not able to consider each and every factor that could\npotentially affect results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
