No - there are too many added sugars in juice. The purported amount of vitamins are not enough to be beneficial. Most juice is processed unless you buy organic, raw juice (not homogenized). - Recommended limit of added sugars per day is 12 tablespoons or 40g - Average added sugar in 8 oz of juice is approx 26g - that's over half of the daily recommendation. Eat fruit and drink water instead; there are no added sugars and you actually get the nutrition from the fruit rather than processed juice. Juice is one of the worst foods to consume that is being advertised as healthy; soy products is the other bad, bad processed food. Unless you squeeze or use a juicer right from the fruit and add no sugars, juice is no bueno. From your "pain in the rump" fitness trainer member. You win. |

I try to curb my enthusiasm regarding fitness and nutrition but it flows through my body like blood. I tend to education wherein it's not welcome. I do this 7 days a week, 10 hours a day. I am in a 12 Step Program! I love your posts! |

You know when the Juice used to rush for the Buffalo Bills, and work in those Naked Gun movies, he was pretty good. I didn't care for the wife killing, but what you gonna do? after the first time he beat my sister, me & my family would have made real O.J. outta that mofo |

The water we drink isn't all that safe either. It too is reconsituted.
Recycled and (ahem) filtered and purified. It's all just advertising. And what you buy into with your gig, try as you may. Some, who can afford to buy organic, isn't that funny? It was all organic until 30 or so years ago, now you have to 'pay'.. |

Juice loves you. Even when nobody else does. It's full of vitamins. Do you love juice? it's also one of the main ingredients in my favorite receipe: fruit smoothies - a complete meal take 1 cup of frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, bluberries, blackberries)and 1/2 cup frozen pineapple, peaches - or some combunation of mixed frozen fruits plus one ripe banana put in blender first - top with 4 tablespoons (a little more is OK) of vanilla Greek Style Yogurt 2 scoops of vitamin and mineral fortified soy protein powder SOY (not milk whey egg or meat protein) pour in fruit juice to cover blades and then a little more to provide a good blending consistency it will be thick like a milkshake, icy and very sweet - ENJOY! |

A juice extractor costs a hundred dollars.... fresh fruit in season is often free or next to nothing, by the 10 kilo box!
We make our own juice, add nothing, (other than perhaps some fresh ginger)....it is a staple part of our day to day dietry requirements...the amount of fibre alone is huge!!!...and fructose sugars are way more digestible than sucrose...in alcohol, icecream, chocolate, etc etc... |

I guess depending on whether one lives in the city or rural areas has a lot to do with it... We have mangoes falling on our heads as we walk down the street in summer...pineapples, watermelons by the carboot load, and right now strawberries are purchased for about $4 au...by the 20 litre bucketfull! |

(from Memoirs of a Hurried Mom) Hectic mornings warming milk Grumpiness I try to bilk Binkies, blankets, sippy cup Burp cloth covered with spit up Poopy diaper, dirty bib Babbles coming from the crib Get them dressed from head to toe Load the car and off we go Cooking meals and serving dinner Hit or miss which one's a winner Flinging food and apple juice On my floor make a slippery sluice Playtime, snuggles, bubble baths Man and wife just crossing paths Stories, bedtime, brushing teeth Eight p.m. sure brings relief Midnight diaper changes galore Please end soon, I do implore Wake up early, start again Where do I even begin Can't drink coffee because caffeine Will wire baby and ruin routine Each day starts off so bleary eyed Was it just last night I sat and cried? So tired that I can't think straight I don't realize until too late The first of today's many mistakes I just poured orange juice on my corn flakes |
