It's not the fact that you are eating sugar from an orange. It's the fact that most people drink a glass of orange juice that is made from 5-6 oranges. Would you eat 5-6 oranges in one sitting? no. So you are getting 5-6 times the sugar you would normally get eating the fruit whole. Secondly juicing something drastically increases it's glycemic index. Eating a lot of high glycemic foods leads to insulin resistance, which contributes to systemic inflamation. This leads to a number of conditions that affect the organs in your body, like your brain or your pancreas.

If I'm hungry and need the calories provided by the sugar, what's the problem? > Eating a lot of high glycemic foods leads to insulin resistance Sugar has lower glycemic index than starch. And in any case I don't really buy the whole idea that eating carbs causes insulin resistance. Being fat causes insulin resistance. If you're not fat, sugar is fine.
