With juice labels proclaiming their healthy benefits, it’s hard to believe we’re not making our life better with a refreshing glass of fruit juice. But just this week, Dr. Jennifer Ashton stopped by the CBS Early Show to clear up some juicy health myths. The problem with juice is that once you remove all of the solid portions of the fruit, you are left with just some phytochemicals, coloring and lots of simple sugars. Simple sugars are those that are easily and quickly absorbed by our bodies and can cause the same blood sugar and insulin spikes as those in sodas. Large insulin spikes over a period of time can cause insulin resistance, weight gain and host of other medical problems. So that is why a one-cup serving size of juice has fewer calories and fewer grams of sugar than the same size serving of regular soda. Now the juice has some nutritional value and the soda has various chemicals that have no nutritional value whatsoever, so the the best answer to this dilemma is to eat the whole fruit instead and drink water. If the taste of water is not appealing puree a favorite fruit, freeze it in ice cubes and then put it in your water. So watch the video and ..
Be well.

Although typical supermarket juices are not a good option for obtaining nutritional benefit, I would add to the above post that “JUICING” with organic whole raw fruits will yield great nutritional benefits to the body. One must have a good quality juicer and good organic fruits to start with. This combo will beat store bought juice hands down. I particularly love and recommend freshly made carrot, beet, green apple, and orange juices. Doing the same with organic vegetables is also wonderful.

I agree as long as the juice does not totally replace the use of whole fruit and vegetables in the diet. Some people feel that they can get all of their daily fruits and vegetables from juice but what they don’t understand is they also need some of that bulk that they may be discarding.
