Hi

Can you tell me why it is that if you eat the whole fruit it is Ok, but if you juice it is not?

If there is fructose in juice why is there not in the whole fruit.

Hi Jude, David addresses this issue at great length in both books. The fructose in whole fruit is tempered by the high amount of fibre, which is removed in the juicing process. Also a serve of fruit juice of 250mm, contains far more juice than you would normally find in a single piece of fruit, consequently the 'hit' of fructose is mammoth. So it is both a matter of scale and of complementary bulk.

It is worth reading the appropriate sections in the book again, which can be difficult to fully comprehend in a single reading.

Best of luck

Thanks david

I have listened to David in his interview with Richard Fidler on ABC which has got me so interested in his views on sugar. I have since purchased Sweet Poison and I am now awaiting the arrival of his 2nd book so I can learn more.
