Apple juice does spike sugar because apple juice contains high amounts of natural sugar so if you're diabetic and need to watch your sugar intake you should avoid apple juice.

Hospitals give you apple juice for hydration and because it loads you with carbohydrates and is easier on the stomach than other drinks and won't cause nausea.

Apple juice is 88 percent water and is also easy to drink and so it's a good hydration drink.

Also before surgery patients at the hospital will usually drink some apple juice to help them have enough energy for the procedure and to help them recover faster.

Many hospitals serve apple juice to their patients before and after medical procedures, because the apple juice is easier on the stomach and won't cause nausea.

Apple juice is also very healthy and can be useful for rehydrating when you're sick.

The apple juice also has disease-fighting plant compounds that also protect your heart and brain as you age.

However, apple juice is not very filling compared to whole apples, nor does it offer much fiber, vitamins, or minerals.

Apples also contain malic acid, which can aid digestion and enhance liver function.

Apple juice, when combined with fiber and other stimulating minerals, can also alleviate symptoms of constipation, cramps, bloating, and diarrhea.
