As reported in the Daily Mail, few researchers at Bangor University have stated that the overweight and obese, no doubt have a bloated sensitivity to the drinks like fruit juices but at the same time, these enhance their subconscious liking of the sweet taste also. Therefore, these drinks are both way harmful for individuals.

Also, fruit juices contain a higher amount of sugar and therefore these should not be included in any ones ''five-a-day'' healthy portions.

In this regard, Hans-Peter Kubis, of the university's School of Sport, Health & Exercise Sciences said, “This has serious implications for public health. This research shows how little sweet food stuffs are required to actually change your taste perceptions and how powerful sweet tasting products are".

With rising obesity levels and more and more people suffering from type 2 diabetes, researchers are worried, that this way the general public is heading towards a multi-level health disaster. In the wake of this situation, Kubis said that the only way to stop an impending health disaster is to tax sugar. Besides, the health message that fruit juice should be taken “five-a-day” should be banned.
