Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi Michele from Sue, I've had Diabetics test their blood sugar in my living room before and after they try Monavie juice and it goes DOWN after drinking it. You wondered if Monavie juice would cause a problem with yeast. Not likely... since the number of grams per 1 oz serving is 4g. And even if you had a 2 oz serving which is also recommended that would be 8 grams.... which is equivalent to 1 SERVING of RAW CARROTS. The ORAC value =(antioxidant level) of one serving of carrots is 171... and the Acai berry is 1027 ---so 2 oz. would be twice that... =2,054 divided by 171 = about 12 servings of carrots in antioxidant levels.. yet the SAME in sugar grams... It's great to be able to get the equivalent of 12 servings of fruits per day in nutrients and only consume 4-8 grams of sugar = NO MORE THAN ONE SERVING OF CARROTS...in sugar=8.grams. The Acai berry is VERY BITTER by itself and is the main ingredient of Monavie juice. EVEN When ADDING the 18 other fruits... the # of grams per serving is still less than carrots...The LOW sugar content of the ACAI berry offsets the other 18 fruits so the total is very low. I'm including a chart..( that might not come up very well)..but hopefully will show you the the stats on carrot nutrients... I'm BIG on whole foods since they have sooo many nutrients we cannot duplicate all in one pill that is as bioavailable. The trace nutrients in whole foods gives the synergy that needed for good BALANCE increasing the effectiveness of absorption. Just imagine the amt. of nutrients of all 19 foods together... in Monavie. That's why top researchers came up with the ultimate mix that Monavie has. And the Acai berry itself LOSES nutrient value rapidly after harvested .... that's why the freeze dried process =OPTI Acai tm --that Dr. Schauss has worked on for 10 years..is so important. As the study shows.. all other processes are seven or more times LESS effective.. the Fresh berries transported LOSE tremendous amts of ORAC value..since it degrades within hours of picking. The OptiAcai process is done RIGHT IN BRAZIL within a short time of harvesting. Therefore it captures more antioxidants than any other berries transported or processed. See below the sugar content of carrots as well as the high number of nutrients typical of whole foods. Hope that helps, Sue:) Carrots, raw In-depth nutrient analysis: Carrots, raw(Note: "--" indicates data is unavailable) amount 1.00 cup total weight 122.00 g Basic Components nutrient amount %DV calories 52.46 2.91 calories from fat 2.09 calories from saturated fat 0.33 protein 1.26 g 2.52 carbohydrates 12.37 g 4.12 dietary fiber 3.66 g 14.64 soluble fiber 1.54 g insoluble fiber 2.12 g sugar - total 8.05 g monosaccharides 2.44 g disaccharides 4.39 g other carbs 0.66 g fat - total 0.23 g 0.35 saturated fat 0.04 g 0.20 mono fat 0.01 g 0.04 poly fat 0.09 g 0.38 trans fatty acids 0.00 g cholesterol 0.00 mg 0.00 water 107.10 g ash 1.06 g Vitamins nutrient amount %DV vitamin A IU 34317.40 IU 686.35 vitamin A RE 3431.86 RE A - carotenoid 3431.86 RE 45.76 A - retinol 0.00 RE A - beta carotene 16678.60 mcg thiamin - B1 0.12 mg 8.00 riboflavin - B2 0.07 mg 4.12 niacin - B3 1.13 mg 5.65 niacin equiv 1.36 mg vitamin B6 0.18 mg 9.00 vitamin B12 0.00 mcg 0.00 biotin 6.10 mcg 2.03 vitamin C 11.35 mg 18.92 vitamin D IU 0.00 IU 0.00 vitamin D mcg 0.00 mcg vitamin E alpha equiv 0.56 mg 2.80 vitamin E IU 0.84 IU vitamin E mg 0.73 mg folate 17.08 mcg 4.27 vitamin K 16.10 mcg 20.13 pantothenic acid 0.24 mg 2.40 Minerals nutrient amount %DV boron 0.38 mcg calcium 32.94 mg 3.29 chloride -- mg chromium -- mcg -- copper 0.06 mg 3.00 fluoride -- mg -- iodine -- mcg -- iron 0.61 mg 3.39 magnesium 18.30 mg 4.58 manganese 0.17 mg 8.50 molybdenum 6.10 mcg 8.13 phosphorus 53.68 mg 5.37 potassium 394.06 mg selenium 1.34 mcg 1.91 sodium 42.70 mg zinc 0.24 mg 1.60 Saturated Fats nutrient amount %DV 4:0 butyric 0.00 g 6:0 caproic 0.00 g 8:0 caprylic 0.00 g 10:0 capric 0.00 g 12:0 lauric 0.00 g 14:0 myristic 0.00 g 15:0 pentadecanoic 0.00 g 16:0 palmitic 0.00 g 17:0 margaric 0.00 g 18:0 stearic 0.00 g 20:0 arachidic 0.00 g 22:0 behenate 0.00 g 24:0 lignoceric 0.00 g Mono Fats nutrient amount %DV 14:1 myristol 0.00 g 15:1 pentadecenoic 0.00 g 16:1 palmitol 0.00 g 17:1 heptadecenoic 0.00 g 18:1 oleic 0.01 g 20:1 eicosen 0.00 g 22:1 erucic 0.00 g 24:1 nervonic 0.00 g Poly Fats nutrient amount %DV 18:2 linoleic 0.08 g 18:3 linolenic 0.01 g 18:4 stearidon 0.00 g 20:3 eicosatrienoic 0.00 g 20:4 arachidon 0.00 g 20:5 EPA 0.00 g 22:5 DPA 0.00 g 22:6 DHA 0.00 g Other Fats nutrient amount %DV omega 3 fatty acids 0.01 g 0.42 omega 6 fatty acids 0.08 g Amino Acids nutrient amount %DV alanine 0.07 g arginine 0.05 g aspartate 0.17 g cystine 0.01 g 2.44 glutamate 0.25 g glycine 0.04 g histidine 0.02 g 1.55 isoleucine 0.05 g 4.35 leucine 0.05 g 1.98 lysine 0.05 g 2.13 methionine 0.01 g 1.35 phenylalanine 0.04 g 3.36 proline 0.04 g serine 0.04 g threonine 0.05 g 4.03 tryptophan 0.01 g 3.13 tyrosine 0.02 g 2.06 valine 0.05 g 3.40 Other nutrient amount %DV alcohol 0.00 g caffeine 0.00 mg artif sweetener total -- mg aspartame -- mg saccharin -- mg sugar alcohol -- g glycerol -- g inositol -- g mannitol -- g sorbitol -- g xylitol -- g organic acids -- mg acetic acid -- mg citric acid -- mg lactic acid -- mg malic acid -- mg choline -- mg -- taurine -- mg Note: The nutrient profiles provided in this website are derived from Food Processor for Windows, Version 7.60, by ESHA Research in Salem, Oregon, USA.
