Eat Whole Fruit

Have you ever wondered whether drinking a glass of fruit juice is much
different nutritionally than eating the fruit? Say an apple or orange.
 
While fruit juice is a good alternative to sodas or alcoholic beverages,
Whole fruit has some advantages:
 
+ Is more filling, and therefore more satisfying
+ Contains few calories
+ Contains less fruit sugar than a glass of juice
+ Has more Fiber
 
Since the majority of people do not have enough fiber in their diet and are
eating excess calories for their needs, I would suggest eating the whole
fruit instead of the juice.
