If you’re chewing the fruit as throughly as advised I doubt your stomach sees much difference between a smoothy and a fruit.

Except that enzymes from salvia already started digestion.

Advised by whom? You could always chew less.

> I doubt

Why bother doubting or not doubting? People actually study this.

One of the studies that struck me (don't have it at hand) involved taking exactly the same diet and feeding it whole to one group and pureed to the other. The pureed food group gained weight and the control group didn't.

I've no idea how replicable that result is, but I'd still take that over a hypothesis that hasn't been tested at all.

Just as a pedantic point, (nothing to do with the topic at hand), if a study has not been replicated, and you cannot lay your hands on the replicated data...

then it's pretty much the same as a "...hypothesis that hasn't been tested at all...".
