The Unbelievable Amount of Sugar in Healthy Juice

1/25/2014

The Huffington Post  |  By Meredith Melnick
Unreal Eats is Healthy Living's original video series, where we go behind calorie counts and health claims to examine what's really in the processed foods that scream loudest in our food environment.

January is the month of juice: Your Instagram feed is full of cleansing acquaintances clutching their juice bottles in an effort to lose weight and your inbox is overflowing with offers from the biggest juice companies. Maybe even your coworkers are in on it -- suggesting you all "flush out the toxins" together.

Unfortunately, all of this is a bit of magical thinking on the part of your friends -- and marketing on the part of juice companies. There's nothing we can eat that will "detoxify" us -- our kidneys, liver and colon do that work for us. And chances are any weight loss is merely water coming off as you starve yourself. What's more, as the Mayo Clinic explains, juicing can actually lead to weight gain, thanks to mega-doses of sugar without any of fruit's naturally occurring fiber, which helps to mitigate the sugar during digestion. And, unfortunately, the isolated sugar from fruit looks very much like sugar from any other source -- it is merely a mixture of fructose and glucose, to which your body responds identically. At the very least, it can lead to a pretty epic blood sugar crash: Juice is also absent of protein and fat, which play a role in regulating blood sugar.

Just how much sugar? We decided to see. We picked some of the trendiest juice companies around, looked for their most nutritious-sounding juices and started calculating the sugar. We found that healthy-sounding juices sometimes carried with them a whopping 39 grams of sugar -- the same as more than five standard chocolate chip cookies we'd picked up from our office's cafe.

Of course, we aren't comparing juice to cookies: Juice is hydrating and contains some great vitamins, while cookies feature such unhealthful fare as refined flour and cooking oil. Then again, no one ever claimed cookies were healthy.

The natural juices are quite hygienic and having the enough sugar which is not having bad effect on health. The people who are diabetic they should use the natural juices to keep it controlled. Thanks for such wise sharing that would be quite informative.

Please note that there is only one nutritional balancing science, developed by Dr. Paul Eck. All other claims made by other practitioners, not approved by Dr. Lawrence Wilson on his site, have altered Dr. Eck's principles and as such have no in depth understanding of the science, which is very unfortunate.  

Further, altering even one aspect of a nutritional balancing program often ruins it rather completely.  This could be substituting different products that you like better, skipping an aspect of the diet or the supplements, or implementing other diets, such as GAPS OR PALEO, OR something else that people do all the time, such for example using other forms of meditation, other than what is recommended by Dr. Wilson.  In other words, using other products or diets, or meditation, conflicts with the entire program and it seriously reduces its effectiveness. Thus, nutritional balancing science is completely integrated, meaning that the sciences are used together in very unique way and should not be altered by yourself or other practitioners.
