That's somewhat a misconception. Fructose isn't broken down and abosrbed by the body as quickly. Fruit also has less sugar in it compared to processed sources of it. Fruit/veggies also have a lot of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and such with have various health benefits. Be pretty hard to overdose on healthy made fruit/veggie combo drinks.
I like juice - really I like carrot juice with a bit of honey and also beet juice - they're awesome. But it only makes sense that if you take out the fiber that you are concentrating the sugar (among other things).
"Fructose is absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion and has no impact on insulin production or blood glucose levels. Consequently, its GI value is much lower, on average around 19. It was once thought this made it a good substitute for table sugar, but there is now a growing body of research to question this.
Sweeteners such as HFCS have a higher GI value due to the presence of glucose. It has been suggested that it is the glucose content of these sweeteners that may have contributed to the increase in cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes." - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/sugar-explained
But... All in all - my personal opinion is that everything is good with moderation and variety.
True, but again fruits and vegetables have vitamins, minerals, antioxidants enzymes and less sugar in them vs processed.
"A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same. "
There's an ongoing debate on artificial vs natural sugar. Likely from a scientific standpoint that debate will keep going on for a while since people will have stuff to support that sugar, HFCS, and such isn't much different from fructose in fruit. I just know logically and anecdotally I've never seen people gain as much weight off of a diet of fruits/veggies as a diet of refined sugar. And honey bees live longer, healthier lives on honey vs table sugar.
Though I agree on all things in moderation. Your body needs a wide variety of nutrition from fruit and vegetables.
