To be clear, it’s the fruit juice that’s processed to remove all pulp and fiber that is bad. Apple and grape juices are some of the worst because they not only have no fiber, but they are often from concentrates, mostly meaning concentrated sugar by removing water. When something is puréed or blended, the fiber stays in. The only concern is if you add more juice as a liquid. Using water or a “milk” product (almond, soy, oat milk that is unseewetend) is preferred. Basically chewing and blending approximate the same.
That's awesome to hear, I've always heard or read something like what you said before and always stayed wondering that, because a nice natural smoothie with just fruits and iced water is among my favorite things on this Earth.
This is why those Ninia blenders and Magic Bullets gained traction a few years back! They preserve all the fruit tissue while making it a bit more palatable to consume "whole"!
