Re: other juice issues

[Guest guest]

hi gang... regarding apple and grape juice... it really isn't an issue of

concentrated or not. In my opinion and nearly 6 years of teaching diet to

families with asd, there are other issues with these juices.

- natural sugar content. legal or illegal, the sugars are usually 20- 30 g

per serving. Sugar feeds yeast.

- apples and grapes are highly phenolic and will cause mood swings, night

waking, incontrollable laughter, sensory issues, etc

- toxins. These large companies need to make juices for the masses and do it

cheaply. We have no idea the quality of the grapes, apples, etc. there are

pesticide issues to consider as well as how and with what do these manufacturers

wash the fruits before processing. Who really knows what is in the juice.

- mold. many of these fruits are damaged and quite possibly have begun to

mold before processing. Plus once reconstituted, the juice needs to be drunk

w/in 24 - 36 hours to avoid breaking down in our fridges.

I understand and respect that juices are needed in diets to mask supplments

and offer a change in beverage. My suggestions are:

- make your own. buy a juicer and have fun!!!

- if that is too much work, then shop for organic juices to eliminate some of

the variables.

- freeze juice in ice cube trays and use as needed. A juice frozen ice cube

will stop the decompensation of the juice. It is also a nice treat to pop into

water.

- switch to less phenolic juices such as pear. Knudsen makes a great one.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.

I hope my knowlegde and opinions will be of some use to someone.

Have a super day!

the problem with grape juice is the pasturising is only designed to

kill live yeast and not yeast spores

here in australia i add water to the juice and bring it to a boil

which seems to kill the spores and not too much of the wanted food

value is destroyed, vitamin c is suprisingly tolerant of being

brought to a boil for instance

i see from the walshes website that they can add fdc red number 40

which a paricularly allergenic colouring, presumably to the red grape

juices

apples like a lot of fruits these days are no longer real, you have

to have eaten an old variety apple grown non commercially to know

what a real apple is

starvation in the midst of plenty is the new paradigm

Juice had no added sugars...it was just apples. So we are going to

assume that they do not want sewed and use it.
