One of the main disadvantages is the high sugar content, even in natural juices.

This can lead to high blood sugar levels and, over time, the development of problems such as insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

Frequent consumption of sugary drinks also contributes to weight gain and can negatively affect dental health, leading to tooth decay and enamel destruction.

Additionally, juices, especially store-bought ones, often go through a processing process that results in the loss of important nutrients and vitamins.

Such juices may contain additives, preservatives and artificial flavors, which reduce their benefits and can negatively affect the body.

Some juices may be artificially fortified with vitamins, but this does not always compensate for the loss of nutrients.

Another thing to note is that juices do not contain the fiber that is present in whole fruits and vegetables.

Fiber plays an important role in digestion and helps keep you feeling full, and a lack of it can contribute to overeating and not getting enough other important nutrients.

Some people may experience allergic reactions or intolerance to certain fruits and vegetables used in juices.

For example, citrus juices may cause reactions in people with citrus allergies, and juices from some berries may be contraindicated in certain medical conditions.
