About these numbers
Apple juice provides apple-derived calories but loses essentially all the fiber, satiety, and chewing-time of whole apples. The 2019 Aune et al. meta-analysis found whole fruit consumption was associated with reduced T2D risk while fruit juice consumption was associated with increased T2D risk at matched calorie intake. The mechanism: fiber + chewing + volume produce satiety from whole fruit; juice provides only sugar + water + minimal nutrients.
