Juicing Out Diabetes: A Health Revolution

The Diabetes Epidemic and How Fresh Cold-Pressed Juice Can Help Reverse the Trend

The Diabetes Epidemic in Numbers 
"Each year in the U.S., sugary drinks are responsible for:

  • 27,000 deaths from diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
  • 300,000 new cases of diabetes.
  • 67,000 new cases of CVD.

That's 25,000 Americans diagnosed with diabetes every single MONTH from sugary drinks alone." – Dr. Mark Hyman

The statistics shared by Dr. Mark Hyman are shocking and sobering: every year in the U.S., sugary drinks contribute to 27,000 deaths from diabetes and cardiovascular disease, 300,000 new cases of diabetes, and 67,000 new cases of cardiovascular disease (CVD). These numbers underline a growing epidemic that directly ties our food and beverage choices to our long-term health outcomes. 

The Role of Sugary Drinks in Poor Health Outcomes Sugary drinks, including sodas, energy drinks, and some commercially-produced fruit juices, are loaded with refined sugars that lead to blood sugar spikes, insulin resistance, and eventually, type 2 diabetes. Unlike natural sugars found in whole fruits, these refined sugars lack the fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients that help regulate the body's response to sugar. The result is a cascade of health problems that can increase the risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

The Science Behind Whole-Pressed Juices vs. Refined Sugary Drinks So what makes fresh, cold-pressed juices different?

While both contain natural sugars, the key difference lies in the source and processing:

  • Nutrient Retention: Freshly cold-pressed juice retains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants because it’s made from raw fruits and vegetables. Unlike sugary drinks, which are often stripped of nutrients during production, cold-pressed juice nourishes the body at a cellular level.
  • No Refined Sugars: Unlike sugary beverages, fresh juice does not contain refined sugars, additives, or preservatives that lead to inflammation and insulin resistance.
  • Low Glycemic Impact: When paired with fibrous ingredients like greens, fresh juices have a lower glycemic impact, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cravings.

Enzymatic Activity: Cold-pressed juicing preserves enzymes that support digestion and metabolism, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients without unnecessary sugar overload.
