Juice may taste good, but unlike the fruit, it’s not healthy

a) It is a lot easier to consume much more juice than one would normally consider eating when juiced

b) just because you are consuming both the juice and the fiber still, does not make them equivalent, the post-consumption breakdown of fiber acts as a time release while pre-consumption fiber breakdown acts as a sugar dose.

I don't disagree with you, and I don't think I made an assertion to the contrary. My "if you're consuming smoothies..." statement is very carefully qualified and I intended it as a response to comments elsewhere in this thread trying to poke holes in the article, which I think on balance is delivering a good message.

Indeed, I took more issue with what you didn't say, than what you did. However I still disagree with the point about it being specific to "Commercial fruit juice", particularly when it comes to home squeezed citrus/orange juice.

The "I juice it myself so its healthy", mentality is easy to get carried away with, Cannot resist the bluecumber.
