Also, Fiber.

Say an orange has 9g of sugar, but you eat one and you feel sated.

Vs. a glass of orange juice with 45g of sugar….I don’t know your life but you probably wouldn’t normally sit down and eat 5 oranges in one sitting, but it’s easy to drink the juice of 5 oranges.

The fiber helps you feel full and slows down how long it takes for your body to digest, giving it more time to process the sugar.

Soda and candy’s sugar to fiber ratio is all fucked up, too much sugar to too little fiber overloading your ability to process the sugar.
