Eating whole fruit lowers diabetes risk, but drinking fruit juice raises it

“People who ate at least two servings each week of certain whole fruits, especially blueberries, grapes and apples, reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes by as much as 23 percent compared to those who ate less than one serving per month.  On the other hand, those who consumed one or more servings of fruit juice each day saw their risk of the disease increase by as much as 21 percent.  ‘Fluids pass through the stomach to the intestine more rapidly than solids even if nutritional content is similar,’ says the paper.  ‘For example, fruit juices lead to more rapid and larger changes in serum [blood] levels of glucose and insulin than whole fruits.'”
