The Jewish Chronicle - Ask the dietician

Visit the Jewish Chronicle for a different take on olive oil and vegetable juices:

I dislike most fruits and vegetables. Can I get my five daily fruit and vegetable portions from juice?

A glass of fruit and/or vegetable juice (150mls) counts as only one portion of fruit and vegetables, no matter how much you drink. This is because you do not receive the same nutritional benefits from the juice as you do from the whole fruit or vegetable. Removing the juice from the whole fruit or vegetable reduces the fibre content and releases a type of sugar from the fruit or vegetable which can damage teeth, especially if drunk frequently.
