While I don't have any hard facts or make any claims about what it does, the idea that fruit juice = fruit is likely inaccurate. Juicing seems to leave behind the fiber and concentrate the sugar. It seems at least plausible that there's a significant difference in the digestion and metabolism of each.

The fruit that they used to have probably didn't resemble what you can go out and buy these days either.

However, I don't think that looking at what humans ate millennia ago is a good indication of what we should do.

God forbid we discover our ancestors used to eat dirt.

Not just our ancestors. People still eat it today.

Well they obiously had a lot more dirt in their diet by proxy. Fruit and veggies weren't as vigoriously washed as they are now, which is the reason why so many people are B12 deficient.

Many animals do, especially clay compounds that absorb toxins.

Even parrots have been observed eating clay soils in the wild.

You are right. I cant remember the link but there was an article I read that drinking fruit juice is not the same as eating fruits with fiber.
