00:00Apple cider may have a slight edge over apple juice when it comes to blood sugar,
00:03but neither drink is considered a good choice for controlling blood sugar.
00:07An 8-ounce glass of either beverage contains around 28 grams of sugar.
00:12The key difference is how they are processed.
00:14Apple juice is filtered and heat-treated, removing most of the solid material,
00:19and very little fiber remains.
00:21Apple cider is made from pressed apples and is generally less filtered.
00:25That means it may retain slightly more fiber than apple juice.
00:28Fiber can slow digestion and help the body respond to sugar more gradually.
00:33Still, both drinks can raise blood sugar levels.
00:36For comparison, a whole apple provides about 4 grams of fiber.
00:40Experts recommend drinking apple juice or cider slowly and in moderation.
00:44And when possible, choosing whole apples may provide more fiber and better support blood sugar management.
