Well yes, fruit is chock full of sugar, naturally. Consuming whole fruit is much more filling than blending it into a liquid such as in a smoothie, so more is consumed that way. How many times have you seen people drinking and carrying around a 1 ltr orange juice carton and end up drinking the whole lot in a day? Utterly full of sugar. Only a small glass, maybe 100-150ml a day is enough but much better to have a whole orange as fruit juice is usually processed and formed into a concentrate, removing many of the phytonutrients found in the whole fruit.

Always avoid smoothies unless in a very small glass and only once a day.

...and then there is the business of supermarket juice being Pasteurized.

Thus getting rid of much of the inherent goodness.

The pulp is the key thing, if removed it means more of the sugar is absorbed by the body. If left in some of it passes through you so to speak and doesn't get absorbed.

I tend to add spinach or kale and almonds to up the protein and reduce the fruit oh and coconut water which is good for hydration.

One more point

I do all that then I w*nk into it - good for the skin apparently.

The chicken feed will be pesticide and artificial additive/colour free, so yes makes a noticeable difference over long term consumption, same with vegetables/fruit. It's also why organic/wild salmon is skin coloured not red as in the farmed versions where they are fed additives such as colouring agents to make it look like the colour people want to buy, oh and then there's the antibiotics to fend of the parasite infestations so typical in fish farms.

Much will depend on the relative quantities, but a standard measure of gin has about 45 calories whereas a typically-sized tonic has about 125 calories, with the 'slimline' version about 70 calories.
