Juicing may harm your health in just 3 days, study finds

Juicing may harm your health in just 3 days, study finds

Juicing has long been touted as a healthy way to cleanse the body and boost overall health. However, a new study from Northwestern University suggests that a juice-only diet may actually have negative effects on the gut and oral microbiome. The study, published in Nutrients, found that even just three days of consuming only vegetable and fruit juice can lead to shifts in gut and oral bacteria that are linked to inflammation and cognitive decline.

The study involved three groups of healthy adults: one group consumed only juice, another group had juice with whole foods, and a third group ate only whole plant-based foods. Saliva, cheek swabs, and stool samples were collected from each participant before, during, and after the diets to analyze bacterial changes using gene-sequencing techniques.

The results showed that the juice-only group experienced the most significant increase in bacteria associated with inflammation and gut permeability. In contrast, the plant-based whole food group saw more favorable microbial changes, while the juice plus food group had some bacterial shifts but to a lesser extent than the juice-only group. These findings suggest that juicing without fiber may disrupt the microbiome, potentially leading to long-term health consequences.

Dr. Melinda Ring, the senior author of the study and director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Northwestern University, warned that consuming large amounts of juice with little fiber could lead to microbiome imbalances, inflammation, and reduced gut health. The lack of fiber in juice deprives beneficial bacteria of the nutrients they need to thrive and produce anti-inflammatory compounds.

The study also found that the oral microbiome responded more quickly to the juice-only diet than the gut microbiota. There was a reduction in beneficial bacteria and an increase in harmful bacteria associated with inflammation in the oral microbiome of participants on the juice-only diet.

Moving forward, the researchers emphasized the importance of further research on how different diets, including juice diets, impact the microbiome. They also highlighted the need to prioritize fiber in dietary guidelines and food production. In the meantime, Dr. Ring suggested blending fruits and vegetables instead of juicing to retain the fiber or pairing juices with whole foods to balance their impact on the microbiome.

Overall, the study serves as a cautionary reminder that while juicing may seem like a healthy choice, it’s essential to consider the impact on the microbiome and overall health. Prioritizing fiber-rich whole foods in the diet is crucial for maintaining a healthy gut and oral microbiome.
