Fruit juices:
Britons consume more than two billion litres of fruit juice every year; that’s 36 litres each.
And we all enjoy fruit juice under the impression that, as one of our ‘five-a-day’, it’s doing us a world of good.
But the journal Diabetes Care found, after monitoring the eating habits of more than 70,000 nurses of an 18-year period, a glass of orange juice a day raised the risk of developing type-2 diabetes by 24%.
Eating whole pieces of fruit, however, can reduce the risk by as much as 18%.
