The only kind of juice I allow myself now is PJ.

I drink carrot juice every day. Wheat grass juice too.

I'm still alive, best endorsement for juicing ever made.

yeah but all the fiber is left behind, you're getting mostly water and sugar when you drink juice.

Removing the fiber actually makes the phytochemicals and nutrients more easily assimilated by the body. If you eat a carrot, you only get about 2% of the beta carotene it contains. When you juice that same carrot, you get almost 100% of it.

Yes, you should eat whole fruits and vegetables for their fiber content, but juicing them as well delivers a much greater amount of vital nutrients than you would get by simply eating them. The juicer is able to break down parts of the vegetable your body is unable to.

"...there's no sound scientific evidence that extracted juices are healthier than the juice you get by eating the fruit or vegetable itself."


I'm sure there's nothing inherently wrong with drinking fresh juice if you want, but to be honest, I don't really see why it should really be better than just eating fruit and vegetables. Yeah, it's easier to drink a cup of juice than to eat ten apples or whatever, but you're also getting all the sugar from ten apples and none of the fiber.

I am in complete agreement with Accident on this one. Way too much is lost. Even doctors say not to give juice to children. May as well be giving them soda. And if you're worried you're not getting essential vitamins and minerals they make those too in a pill.

Indeed.

Too many people pay too much attention to marketing rather than real, scientific information regarding nutrition.
