Discover the unexpected benefits of 1 glass of orange juice a day

New research has found that drinking fruit juice - such as orange juice - may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

While many studies on the effects of fruit juice on the risk of diabetes remain controversial, a new study recently published in the British Journal of Nutrition may now vindicate this beverage.

The study, led by Dr. Takeo Fujiwara of the Department of Public Health , Tokyo Medical and Dental University (Japan), in collaboration with experts from several other universities in Japan, assessed the link between the amount of fruit juice consumed—such as orange juice—and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, especially in those with a high genetic risk for the disease.

Drinking orange juice reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The study included 13,769 participants, aged 35-69. They completed questionnaires about their food consumption habits, including their fruit juice consumption.

During the 9-year study period, 814 people were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

The results found that drinking fruit juices—such as orange juice—may help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Surprisingly, drinking fruit juice, such as about one glass of orange juice (240 ml) per day, significantly reduces the risk of developing diabetes in people with a high genetic predisposition, compared to those who do not drink fruit juice, according to the medical news website News Medical.

However, the authors did not observe this effect in individuals who did not have a high genetic risk for diabetes.

Researchers concluded: These findings show an inverse link between type 2 diabetes and drinking 100% fruit juice, such as orange juice, in people with a high genetic risk for diabetes. Meanwhile, those with a low genetic risk for diabetes did not show this benefit from drinking fruit juice, according to News Medical.
