Juice may beat fruit for preventing heart disease

No, you beat fruit to make juice.
"Grapes, apples and their juices can prevent the development of atherosclerosis in hamsters eating a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, French researchers have found.

Fruit juices had a more powerful anti-atherosclerotic effect than the fruit itself, Dr. Kelly Decorde of the Universite Montpellier and colleagues found, showing for the first time that processing fruit can have a 'major impact' on its health benefits."

How stupid is this?

The stuff supposedly worked on "hamsters eating a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet."

Assuming the same would be true for humans, not "eating a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet" should have a more "major impact" than rescue by processed fruit.

Stupide.
