The absence of solid fiber in juicing leads to rapid glucose spikes, diminishing the perceived health benefits of orange juice compared to whole fruit. Consequently, the body processes sugar from both drinks similarly, emphasizing that the removal of fiber is more critical than the sugar source itself.
