That’s because juicers separate the juice from the pulp and skins (which contain the fibre).

What’s more, you lose some polyphenols and antioxidants which are found in citrus fruits and skins of fruits and vegetables. When you choose to juice, don’t delay. Drink it straight away so as not to lose the enzyme and antioxidant activity which depreciates over time.
