[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an early juicer devotee. Recommended by my osteopath. Had to stop because the smoothies were making my blood sugar spike and I’d become queasy. I was juicing apples, kale, carrots [/quote] Numerous posters have noted that juicing is not the same as making smoothies. Juicing removes all the fiber in a fruit; smoothies keep all the fiber and you ingest it. Drinking juice is very different than drinking a smoothie. [/quote] You still have the same amount of sugar. [b]Added fiber won't reduce that amount or significantly slow down that sugar absorption[/b]. Smoothies do cause sugar spikes almost the same way as juices. But you do you. Go ahead, start your day with sugar bomb. And later join 50% of Americans with metabolic issues (type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and insulin resistance (metabolic syndrome)) [/quote] Are you unaware that fiber blunts the glycemic index?[/quote]
