[quote]"The reason I usually recommend eating whole vegetables and fruits, rather than drinking them, is that the fibrous and pulpy parts contain valuable nutrients, and also serve to fill you up," Dr. Alka Gupta, co-director of the Integrative Health & Wellbeing Program at New York-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine told INSIDER. "Soluble and insoluble fibers are crucial for the digestive process — they ensure that we digest and absorb nutrients and sugars slowly, avoiding a quick spike in blood sugars. They also add bulk to our stool, and help to keep our gastrointestinal system moving regularly."

This is about juice, not fruit that’s pulsed in a blender for 20 seconds. The fiber is still very much there in the fruit in your blender. It hasn’t been strained out as it is with juice, and it is not changed enough to make it any different for your gut than eating the fruit before you put it into the blender.

Juice and smoothies are not at all the same.

I don't know what to say to someone who makes such a declaration. Did you not take BIO100 in college? Things do not stay in the same form when they are sliced and diced by high speed blades, even for 20 seconds. This level of ignorance is hard to fathom or counter. I think you just maybe don't understand anything at all about how your gut processes food. [/quote]
Fiber doesn’t evaporate.[/quote]
