Below are some shares from nutritionist Veena V (India) about plum juice.
Notes when drinking plum juice
- Laxative effect
You should not drink more than two glasses of prune juice a day, because prune juice is high in fiber and has a mild laxative effect. Therefore, drinking too much prune juice can cause digestive disorders.
- High sugar content
Plum juice is high in sugar and calories, so drinking too much can increase your risk of diabetes and have other negative health effects.
- Contains acrylamide
The International Cancer Research Center (ICRC) says acrylamide is a possible human carcinogen. It is formed during the heating of carbohydrates. Therefore, consuming large amounts of prune juice is considered unsafe.
How much prune juice should I drink a day?
The amount of prune juice depends on the age and tolerance of each person. Drinking half a cup of prune juice a day can help adults have regular bowel movements. For mild constipation, drink 1 cup a day.
