Orange juice study: does the Fruit's natural mix change how your body handles sugar?
NCT ID NCT06638190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the natural components of oranges (like fiber and vitamins) affect how the body absorbs sugar from orange juice. Healthy adult men drank different versions of orange juice with the same sugar content but varying amounts of the fruit's natural matrix. Researchers measured blood sugar and insulin levels to see if the matrix made a difference.
