Health benefits of fruit juice consumption studies

Overview

Recent clinical studies have explored the health benefits of daily fruit juice and smoothie consumption.

A British study published in the British Journal of Nutrition indicated that adding a daily serving of 100% natural fruit juice or a smoothie to a diet increased fruit and vegetable intake and was linked to lower scores for depressive symptoms. Researchers noted the improvement was statistically significant, though no changes in anxiety levels were observed.

Subsequent research into orange juice consumption found that 330 ml of the beverage daily may support cardiovascular health. The study identified hesperidin, a natural polyphenol, as a substance that influences genes associated with healthy blood vessels and circulation. While the study observed no negative impacts on body weight, blood sugar, or cholesterol, nutritional experts cautioned that liquid consumption lacks the fiber and satiety of whole fruit.
