    I think you have got a really good point, I have been using a small glass for energy after weight training, though I have been advised to consume a bit of food with it to reduce my risk of getting diabetes. BECAREFULL WITH JUICE, IT IS UNNATURAL FRUIT CONSUMPTION!

    I think he’s probably just more aware of his energy levels, since it’s kind of his area of expertise, so a “crash” to him, may not be as severe as a crash to you.

    scientific research also showed how big of douchbags they are, for example, crazy theories of how the earth formed, like big bang, and i think its bullshit, since i have religioon of course. but what i want to ask you is this… would you really live your life, revolving around men and women, guessing about….i dunno, anything? doesnt it sound rediculous, just hearing a man like you and me, guess about diseases and etc.? did they really have to go thru years of college just to guess?

    By the way 1stSRB, the majority of fructose, (depending ones metabolic and hepatic efficiency) is converted into VLDL and triglycerides (fat). Specifically promoting visceral adiposity and secretes adipokines such as Resistin, rbp4, Interlukin-6, etc, causing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and (if you have the genes for it), diabetes.

    Sean, maybe you should dig into a bit of science to substantiate your comments for these individuals commenting on here like they are authorities on the matter, yet clearly have not spent any time learning/researching. Robert Lustig’s video on fructose metabolism is a great start.

    Breaking down FRUCTOSE for better understanding: FRUCTOSE leads to increased insulin resistance, belly fat, & metabolic syndrome. Look at the Nutrition FACTS on the back of products.

    I was diagnosed with high blood pressure so I quit drinking juice and soda . I wonder about banana and milk together , is it any good or different than other juices ?
    Milk and banana have about 10 grams of sugar each
    I am not sure what I could drink any more but I know that moderation is the key

    I try to eat everything in its natural state and for the first time in my life I am happy, energetic and only put on weight when I eat processed crap.

    The thing is, that this all started with juicing; I just see juicing as a gateway to much healthier options; and I would rather eat a 2 pounds of fruit than a glass of juice.

    The way I see it, juicing is a great way to ween addicts off of processed poison.

    Hi;

    I think that juicing is great for people who usually only eat processed crap; it is a start.

    After 40 years of craving refined sugar and battling depression, grapefruit saved me, and then I swithched from juice, to whole raw foods.

    In the form of fruit I eat huge amounts of sugar, but it does not screw me up like refined sugar (and flour).

    It is the processed fruit that is bad. In order to get the same amount of fruit juice from 64 oz you would have to consume a large amount of fruit. Fruit juice is void of the fiber and some of the other nutrients.
