The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses a study published in the journal PLOS Medicine, which found that fruit juice consumption in schools does not provide the same health benefits as eating whole fruits.

The study revealed that while whole fruits are associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes, fruit juices, which often contain added sugars and lack the fiber found in whole fruits, do not offer the same protective effects. The authors of the study recommend that schools should prioritize serving whole fruits over fruit juices to promote better health outcomes among students.
