The use of fruit juices on an empty stomach adversely affects the intestinal microflora. This conclusion was drawn by scientists from the Institute for Integrative Genomics Lewis Seagler, part of Princeton University. The results of the study are published in the journal Cell Metabolism.

Specialists conducted an experiment during which they gave experimental mice to drink juices and nectars on an empty stomach. It turned out that in this state the small intestine can not split fructose: it directly enters the large intestine and causes serious damage to microorganisms that are unable to cope with carbohydrates. This applies to both packaged and freshly squeezed juices.

At the same time, scientists note that 90% of fruit sugar is absorbed in the small intestine.

Researchers recommended using juices in small amounts and only after eating. This approach will prevent the "congestion" of the digestive system and will not damage the intestinal microflora.

Earlier it was reported that grapefruit juice increased the effect of the medicine against cancer three times.
