This irresponsible study is more likely paid by the juice industry.

Drinking juice is not even close as eating a fruit. The juice portion is the pure sugar from many fruits together, without the benefit of the fiber found in the fruit. There is more, a single cup of orange juice have the contents of more than 4 oranges and nobody that I know east 4 oranges in a sitting.

There is more: Because the juice does not contain the fiber to slow its absortion it floods tjhe liver with excess sugar, which triggers insulin response, which overtime can cause insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.

  You would do well to read the original article and the associated editorial (in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition): academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/106/2/519/4557618# and academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/106/2/439/4557651
  
  This article nor the original study publication reference dietary fiber/fibre; nor do they need to: the meta-analysis concerns metabolic effects of various monosaccharides and the articles certainly do not equate fruit juice to fruit. To do so would be to limit the concept to intestinal absorption (which is only a small part of the overall consideration of dietary health effects).
