"The study appears online August 29, 2013 in BMJ (British Medical Journal). The researchers examined data gathered between 1984 and 2008 from 187,382 participants in three long-running studies ...

"People who ate at least two servings each week of certain whole fruits — particularly blueberries, grapes, and apples — reduced their risk for type 2 diabetes by as much as 23% in comparison to those who ate less than one serving per month. Conversely, those who consumed one or more servings of fruit juice each day increased their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by as much as 21%. The researchers found that swapping three servings of juice per week for whole fruits would result in a 7% reduction in diabetes risk."

I only eat whole fruit but there are some people who just hate it so much that it's fruit juice or no fruit at all.

Don't really care about the research, it just makes more sense to me to eat the fruit... fills you up much better with all the fiber, and it's less calories too...
