"Over 25 million people in the US have diabetes, and close to 80 million are pre-diabetic." - From American Diabetes Association
IMO, this problem is way larger than the former cigarette health problem as more people consume sugary drinks and foods than smoked cigarettes.
It is kind of obvious advice. By drinking juice, you are consuming an unusually large amount of processed fruit. I hardly touch the stuff. Stick to water or tea or whatever.
Agreed I drink water, black coffee, tea, vodka and terribly illegal moonshine. If you've ever made jam (jello to our American cousins) before adding the sugar to your stewed fruit, taste it. Definitely lots of sugar in there!
I think you mean jelly.
* this is where they miss the point.

Same old risk: drink too much sugary stuff, get fat.
Well, I didn't know that a smoothie was worse than the fruit it's made of. (Not that I drink smoothies anyway.)
So you're consuming (1) just the sugary liquid extract of the fruit, and (2) getting much more of it from more fruits than if you were eating whole pieces of fruit.

People use the word jam in the states. I first saw the word used at Denny's.
ggp probably meant the word "jelly" instead of the word "jello".
No one is contesting the word "jam".
Don't reply to this comment.
It's often quite surprising to read the ingredient list on these smoothies. They consist largely of apple juice concentrate, and rather small amounts of the fruits advertised on the front.
