A team of Australian scientists led by Professor Matthew Pay monitored a group of 160 people who consumed freshly squeezed fruit juices every day. As a result of the study, it turned out that with regular intake of fruit juices, the central aortic systolic pressure significantly increased, which increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. They equated fruit juices for harm caused by sweetened drinks, including Coca-Cola.

In other studies, fruit juice was blamed for the epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Oxford University Professor Susan Jebb stated that it wasn't right to quench thirst with juices. According to her, the best fluid in our diet is water.

For the moment, world food institutes are reviewing their attitude to fruit juices and introducing the recommended amount of their consumption depending on the sugar content.
