What is the difference in eating fruit and having fruit juice?

Fruit juice almost always has extra sugar added, and even if it doesn't, why would you replace wholesome nutrional value that comes with whole fruit with fake, processed sugar? Most fruit juices are just as bad as drinking a pop. I do drink a no sugar added cranberry juice that is very good for my urinary tract system, but in general, the whole fruit is way better for you than the bottled juice. Have you ever heard that the rule of thumb in eating is that the closer a food is to its natural state, the better it is for you? That's because food loses value the more things it goes through. Apples. When eating apples before meals, people ate less. This wasn't true for applesauce and apple juice. Go figure? And I've seen several studies with similar results. Two things about the higher concentration of vitamin like C: 1) you can have too much and 2)your body doesn't absord it all because it is too concentrated. To get the maximum benefit from sports drinks you are supposed to water them down. I'd imagine the same is true for juice, at least it is for kids.

I think fruit juice is better because one can eat only a limited amount of fruit but can take as many glasses of juice as he can. Although it matters as we don't get the roughage in juices which we get from the fruit, but I prefer fruit juices better than the fruit.

Fruit is better than drinking fruit juice but you get the nutricents of 10 oranges in 1 cup full of orange juice so 10x the vitamin C and 10x the calories i guess.

i say taking fruits in their own form is better as they even have the cellulose in the right amount so that the digesting is also good i say take pine apple juice as it pokes other should be taken raw itself

eating fruits is some what like to exercise your gums and drinks juice is just to have the right product out of such fruit without giving any sort of exercise to your gums and mouth. so do you think friend?

Please take this from the apples' perspective. I read before that eating apples offers one a different set of benefits from drinking apple juice. Later, I learned from a friend that her brother needed apple juice to recover, not the fruit. It depends on what one needs.
