Fruit and Vegetable Juices as Beneficial to Health as Fruits and Veggies

A European study has revealed that 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices are as effective as their whole fruit/vegetable counterparts in reducing risk factors related to certain diseases. The conclusion is the result of the study designed to question traditional thinking that 100 percent juices play a less significant role in reducing risk for both cancer and cardiovascular disease than whole fruits and vegetables.

Juices are comparable in their ability to reduce risk compared to2 their whole fruit/vegetable counterparts, according to several researchers in the United Kingdom who conducted the literature review. The researchers analyzed a variety of studies that looked at risk reduction attributed to3 the effects of both fiber and antioxidants. As a result, they determined that the positive impact fruits and vegetables offer come not from just the fiber but also from antioxidants which are present in both juice and the whole fruits and vegetables.4

"When considering cancer and coronary heart disease5 prevention, there is no evidence that pure fruit and vegetable juices are less beneficial than whole fruit and vegetables，” the researchers said. The researchers added that the positioning of juices as being nutritionally inferior to6 whole fruits and vegetables in relationship to chronic disease development is “ unjustified ” and that policies，which suggest otherwise about fruit and vegetable juices，should be re-examined.

The researchers who authored the paper suggest that more studies in certain area are needed to bolster their findings. “ Although this independent review of the literature is not designed to focus on any particular 100 percent juice，it does go a long way7 in demonstrating that fruit and vegetable juices do play an important role in reducing the risk of various diseases，especially cancer and cardiovascular disease，” said Sue Taylor. Her opinion is in agreement with8 the Juice Products

Association，a non-profit organization not associated with this research. She added that appropriate amounts of juices should be included in the diet of both children and adults，following guidelines established by leading health authorities. Taylor also points to a large epidemiological study, published in the September 2006 issue of the Journal of Medicine，which found that consumption of a variety of 100 percent fruit and vegetable juices was associated with a reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease10.

In fact, that study found that individuals who drank three or more servings of fruit and vegetable juices per week had a 76 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than those who drank juice less than once per week. The study was published in the International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition11 (2006)

4.As a result，they determined that the positive impact fruits and vegetables offer come not from just the fiber but also from antioxidants which are present in both juice and the whole fruits and vegetables.他们断定，水果和蔬菜所起的积极作用不仅来自纤维，而且也来自抗氧化剂，而无论水果还是蔬菜，其全果和汁液都含有这两种物质。这里要注意的是在语法结构上，fruits and vegetables offer是positive impact的定语从句，省略了关系代词 that。

答案与题解：

1.D第二i第二句及第三句说到，降低患病危险性的作用应该归功于果汁和全果均含有的纤 维和抗氧化剂。其他A、B、C三个选项文章均未提及。

2. C第三段第二句说到，在与慢性病的发生的关系方面，认为果汁不如全果有营养的观点是 unjustified (“不正当的”)，也就是“不正确”(incorrect)。

3.B第四段第二句说到，果汁在降低患各种疾病中的确起着重要作用，尤其是癌症和心血管 疾病。这里in particular正是especially的意思。
