A study by Toronto Metropolitan University researched the effects of drinking 100% orange juice vs. sugar-sweetened orange beverages on appetite, food intake and glycemic response in adults.
Pure orange juice might have some unexpected benefits. Researchers from Toronto Metropolitan University researched the effects of drinking 100% orange juice compared to a sugar-sweetened beverage , or 'orange drink,' on appetite, food intake and glycemic response in adults. The study was funded by the Florida Department of Citrus. It was published in the journal Nutrients and also surveyed emotions and sensory characteristics associated with the beverage.
Thirty-six 'normal weight' adults were tasked with drinking either 100% orange juice, an orange drink or water before eating. The researchers found that food and energy intake was lower in subjects who drank 100% orange juice compared to the orange drink. Caloric compensation from 100% orange juice was 84%, while the orange drink was −25%.
Rest-of-day blood glucose concentrations were lower after 100% orange juice compared with the orange drink and water control,' the study stated. 'In conclusion, consumption of 100% orange juice as a preload resulted in higher caloric compensation, lower total daily EI , and lower blood glucose concentrations compared to the orange drink.
Orange juice is similar to a sugar-sweetened beverage in that it contains free sugars, but it also contains sucrose , while also containing vitamin C and flavonoids,' he noted. The researchers’ hypothesis was that flavonoids in orange juice slow down the digestion and absorption of sugar. 'Thus, you are not seeing the same spike in blood glucose as you see with the SSB,' Bellissimo said. 'Interestingly, the energy in the orange juice was compensated for at the next meal – i.e.
