Explained in plain English

Are fruit juices also a problem?

Yes, fruit juices can be just as problematic as sugary drinks for your liver. While they contain vitamins, they're often high in natural sugars, which still impact blood sugar and metabolism. Dr Garg's advice about avoiding sugary drinks applies to excessive fruit juice consumption too, as the liver processes all types of sugar.
