It's how fast it's absorbed that makes all the difference.
I never have table sugar around the house, but do get sugar from fruits
(not juices). It been ages since I used my juicer.
What amazes me is the fact that all the restaurants around here serve
orange juice (usually freshly squeezed), but it's expensive, and you
can't order less than 12 or 16 ounces. Drinking that (or raw cane
juice) on an empty stomach must really be unhealthy, except in the
middle of a marathon!
