Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: Why sugar in fruits is good for you but processed sugar in chocolate and desserts is not? by Sensitive_Apple_7901

And that's also the reason that fruit juices are really not that healthy.
Sure, you're getting some vitamins, but because most of the fiber is gone there is nothing keeping the sugar from being absorbed very fast.

It's better than sodas but not really good altogether.

Asterisk: sliding scale

The more pulp and other fruit matter in a juice, the less this is a problem. Clear juice is the worst - and in some cases, can be as bad as soda (especially if there is sugar added). Juice with pulp is better; and smoothies made from the entire fruit is only marginally worse than eating the fruit straight.

What about making orange juice by smooshing the orange against your forehead?
