Drinking fruit juice daily increases risk of heart disease warn experts | Health | Life & Style | Daily Express
Researchers have found that those who regularly enjoy the popular breakfast drink have significantly higher blood pressure than those who only have it occasionally.
Scientists found people who had a daily glass of juice had significantly higher central blood pressure. This is pressure in the aorta, the large artery into which the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to spread around the body.
High central blood pressure can increase the risk of problems such as a heart attack or angina.
Lead author of the study, Dr Matthew Pase, from the Swinburne University of Technology in Hawthorn, Victoria, in Australia, said: “The findings suggest the daily use of fruit juice may increase central blood pressures, which are known to be associated with cardiovascular disease risk and cognitive impairment – problems with mental functioning.

"These findings are important because there is a common perception that fruit juice is healthy.
“Although juices may have essential vitamins, they commonly contain high amounts of sugar with negligible fibre.
“Thus, frequent fruit juice consumption may be contributing to excessive sugar intake, typical of the Western population, exacerbating the prevalence of hypertension [high blood pressure] and cardiovascular disease.”
Health experts increasingly believe that fruit juices are helping fuel Britain’s obesity and diabetes epidemics. Previous research has warned that orange juice is potentially as bad as sweetened drinks.
A 250ml serving contains 115 calories – or seven teaspoons of sugar – while a can of “regular” cola has 139 calories.
The World Health Organisation recommends that we consume no more than six teaspoons of sugar daily.
Some experts want the health experts to stop classing juice as one of our “five-a-day” portions of fruit and vegetables.
Victoria Taylor, at the British Heart Foundation, said: “Fruit juice is included within the government’s five a day scheme but it is important to be careful about the portion size.”
The study was published in the scientific journal Appetite.
